Manchester United and Newcastle enquire about Randal Kolo Muani | OneFootball

Manchester United and Newcastle United have enquired about PSG and France international centre-forward Randal Kolo Muani (26), according to a report from Foot Mercato. The former Nantes and Eintracht Frankfurt striker is a man in demand after a convincing loan move to Juventus FC in the second half of the previous campaign. Kolo Muani scored eight goals in 19 games for I Bianconeri.

Juventus would be keen for Kolo Muani to remain at the Allianz Stadium. But the Serie A side is yet to agree on another loan deal for PSG. Besides, the Champions League winners would reportedly like to part ways on a permanent basis with the striker they paid €90m for two years ago. With the situation stalling, interest from abroad has emerged for Kolo Muani.

Foot Mercato understands that Newcastle United and Manchester United have Kolo Muani in their sights. The Red Devils want to bolster Ruben Amorim’s options up front after landing Matheus Cunha and the expected €81m signing of Bryan Mbeumo. Hugo Ekitike’s refusal to join Manchester United also explains the Red Devils’ interest in Kolo Muani.

As for Newcastle United, the Magpies are anticipating a possible departure for scoring sensation Alexander Isak amid interest from Saudi Arabia and Liverpool. Newcastle United have also made contact with Kolo Muani as they are convinced that his versatility and international experience would make him a key part of the project.
