Tottenham Hotspur could cut short the loan deal they made with Paris Saint-Germain for Randal Kolo Muani, according to Football Insider.
Kolo Muani joined Tottenham on loan from PSG in the summer of 2025, but the striker has had injury problems and has not always been at his best when he has played. Juventus are said to be interested in him.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “We know there are long-term admirers of Mateta. It would probably depend on some outgoings at Tottenham.
“Kolo Muani, if he was to cut his loan short and potentially move back to Juventus then that could make room in the squad for Tottenham to firm up their interest in Mateta.
“There are a lot of permutations to this one, obviously Kolo Muani scored in the win against Eintracht Frankfurt as Spurs booked their place in the last 16.
“We know Juventus are in the market for a new striker they’ve missed out on Mateta.
“Obviously, Kolo Muani had a very successful loan spell there before so he would tick a lot of boxes for them if they are to bring a new striker in.
“Tottenham have been quite adamant that they haven’t wanted anybody to leave but now maybe with Mateta being an option for them they might be more open to it.
“He’s not been a regular goalscorer for Spurs and not been a regular starter either, so it could suit all parties if he was to go back to Juventus.
“That might then allow Tottenham to make a move for Mateta, but there are so many permutations that we just have to wait for it to play out.”
