Juventus Confident in Transfer Lead Over Man Utd, Tottenham for £50M-Rated PSG Outcast | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is up in the air with the January transfer window open and rumors swirling around his potential departure. The 26-year-old forward has yet to make a significant impact in his first two seasons at the club, fueling speculation about a move this month.

So far this season, Kolo Muani has played just 453 minutes across all competitions and hasn’t managed to secure a regular starting spot. His absence from PSG’s squad for the final three matches of 2024 has only added to the uncertainty surrounding his future.

According to Give Me Sport, PSG and Tottenham are in talks over a potential deal. PSG is pushing for an obligation to buy at the end of a loan, while Tottenham prefers an option to buy, offering more flexibility based on Kolo Muani’s performance.

Meanwhile, David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that Tottenham, Manchester United, and Juventus are all in the race to sign the striker on loan this January.

TBR Football reported on Monday, citing sources, that Kolo Muani is likely to join on loan with an option to buy for around £50 million. The report also suggests that Juventus consider themselves the top choice after talking with the forward’s representatives over the weekend.

Juve are now eager to finalize a deal early this week to secure the French international and beat Tottenham to his signature. While Tottenham have not abandoned their pursuit of Kolo Muani, they had hoped he would have agreed to join them last week.

TBR Football further claims that the player has sought advice from French manager Didier Deschamps, who has naturally spoken highly of his former club, Juventus. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will pursue another target, as Kolo Muani was seen as a valuable opportunity in the market.
