Juventus targets Oyarzabal and Balogun amid stalled Kolo Muani deal
Summary

Juventus remains in pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani but reports no progress in negotiations. As the club considers alternative options, Mikel Oyarzabal and Folarin Balogun have emerged as potential signings, both having impressed at the 2026 World Cup. Oyarzabal, a key player for Real Sociedad with a strong scoring record for Spain, could be tempted to leave, while Balogun is building a reputation as a capable forward, though he has faced injury issues. Analysts suggest that neither player represents the transformative addition Juventus needs to regain their status in European football.
