Man Utd Suffer Rejection as Juventus Target Nears €60M PSG Exit | OneFootball

Juventus have spent the summer chasing PSG attacker Randal Kolo Muani, with the player reportedly keen on a return to Turin despite interest from Premier League clubs.

With the transfer window closing soon, pressure is mounting, and Juventus could look at alternative options if they need to secure a forward.

Earlier this month, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that Juventus remain confident about completing a permanent deal for Kolo Muani. So far, discussions have largely involved the Italian club, with little movement from Newcastle United or Tottenham.

Although it’s taking until the final days of the transfer window for Juventus and PSG to get a deal done, Kolo Muani remains firm on returning to Turin. CaughtOffside reported that Manchester United wanted to swoop in and hijack the Frenchman.

Nonetheless, the attacker has no interest.

“Manchester United, while waiting to reach a total agreement with Napoli for the departure of Rasmus Hojlund, have started to explore alternative names for their attack,” One source told CaughtOffside. “Among the players considered is PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani.

“United recently made contact, asking for information and signalling to the player’s entourage their interest in opening talks. However, Kolo Muani has given no indication of being open to a move to Old Trafford. The French forward has made his stance clear: his priority is Juventus.”

Romano recently reported that Juventus are in advanced talks with PSG to sign Kolo Muani for a total of €60 million. The deal would include a €5 million loan fee, followed by an obligation to buy for €55 million, with discussions still ongoing on how to trigger that obligation.
