Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani seems to be on the sidelines, as manager Luis Enrique hasn’t shown much inclination to make him the team’s starting No. 9. So far, he’s logged just 416 minutes across all competitions, fueling speculation about a possible move in January.
Recently, there’s been talk of a potential transfer to the Premier League for the 2022 FIFA World Cup runner-up, with Manchester United reportedly showing strong interest, according to CaughtOffside.
Intermediaries are also now reaching out to multiple Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United, to explore potential interest in Kolo Muani, as reported by TBR Football.

Since Luis Enrique took charge, PSG have struggled to deliver in key matches, and losing Kylian Mbappé has not made things easier. Although the team looks lively and promising in the Champions League, their lack of finishing does not quite match their high ambitions. Some forwards, particularly Kolo Muani, are under growing scrutiny.
On France Bleu Paris, journalist Abdellah Boulma indicated that Kolo Muani’s future at PSG is far from assured.
“This confirms that PSG is determined to part ways with Kolo Muani this winter,” Boulma said (h/t Foot01). “This isn’t exclusive news; everyone knows it. He needs to be moved, and an exit route should be found for him this winter. We don’t yet know how; there’s the weight of his transfer fee.
“No one will pay €75 million. We’re considering more of a straight loan or a loan with an option. I think it would benefit both parties and Luis Enrique, who doesn’t trust him. It would be reasonable for him to leave.”
