Liverpool, Tottenham Set Sights on £50M-Rated PSG Outcast as Man Utd Switch Doubtful | OneFootball

As the January transfer window nears, speculation about Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is heating up. The French forward has had limited playing time this season, raising doubts about his place in the squad.

Kolo Muani’s situation became more uncertain recently, adding fuel to the rumors. With just 453 minutes of action across all competitions, he has struggled to secure a regular starting spot. To make matters worse, he wasn’t included in PSG’s squad for their last three matches of 2024.

TBR Football reports that PSG might consider loaning the forward with an option to buy. Kolo Muani is reportedly open to a move to England, and Premier League clubs are starting to feel optimistic about the possibility.

The Evening Standard revealed this week that Arsenal could be offered the chance to sign Kolo Muani next month, though the club is still undecided amid their ongoing winger injury crisis.

On Monday, Mikel Arteta confirmed that star Bukayo Saka will be out for “many weeks” due to a hamstring injury sustained in Saturday’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace.

As a result, Arsenal, along with other clubs, are expected to be given the opportunity to sign the French international on loan in January, though it’s still unclear whether the Gunners will pursue the deal.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany reported on Wednesday that Kolo Muani is expected to leave PSG in the winter transfer window. Talks with potential clubs about a loan deal are ongoing, with PSG hoping to include an obligation to buy.

The report also suggests there is a good chance Muani will move to the Premier League. Liverpool have shown interest, though no further developments have occurred.

Manchester United are keeping an eye on the situation, but they don’t anticipate a move in January. Tottenham and RB Leipzig are also interested, with more clubs reportedly watching the situation closely.

TEAMtalk reported last week that Arsenal are interested in Kolo Muani, who can play both as a winger and a center-forward and could be a key target for them in January.

The report also suggests that a £50 million bid might be enough to secure Kolo Muani’s signature next month, which would be a great deal considering he joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt for £76 million in 2023.
