Juventus identify new alternative to Zirkzee at PSG as January window beckons | OneFootball

Though Juventus still remain interested in a deal with Manchester United for former Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee in January, the Bianconeri also have their eyes on France international Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain according to Saturday’s reports.

Juventus are still hoping to add another attacker to their ranks in the upcoming transfer window in order to provide competition and cover for Dusan Vlahovic up front, but after a summer of heavy spending, the club will likely be shopping in the loan market, or for players soon to be out of contract.

That is why Kolo Muani has become of interest, as, according to Il Corriere dello Sport and TMW, PSG are willing to consider loan offers including potential options to buy in the coming weeks.

Though he moved to PSG for a fee in excess of €80m including add-ons in 2023, Kolo Muani has fallen out of favour under Luis Enrique, and will be looking to secure a move away from the Parc des Princes in one of the coming windows.

According to Saturday’s reports, Juventus have already spoken with Kolo Muani’s representatives and with the intermediary involved in his PSG exit, although there are several Premier League clubs also chasing the Frenchman in January.

TMW report that Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham are among the other clubs interested in the 26-year-old, and that the player is likely to consider any Premier League proposal.
