PSG Poised to Rival Arsenal, Man Utd for €60M-Rated Atalanta Breakout Star | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain could be in the market for a No. 9 in the summer transfer window. During the January window, the Parisians let go of Randal Kolo Muani on loan to Juventus, leaving Gonçalo Ramos and now Ousmane Dembélé occupying that No. 9 role.

Juventus secured Kolo Muani on loan until the end of the season during the winter transfer window, and the French forward has made an immediate impact, netting five goals in his first three matches.

Two reports, one from Corriere dello Sport and another from TuttoSport, indicate that Juventus are looking to sign Kolo Muani on a permanent deal, with PSG setting the asking price at €70 million.

The player is eager to remain in Italy, and both clubs are in talks to finalize the transfer. Juventus are also hoping to have him represent them in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

With the Parisians possibly needing to bolster their striker position in the offseason, Fichajes reports that PSG are one of three clubs keen on securing Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui.

The report also claims that Arsenal and Manchester United are two other clubs eyeing Retegui. The Italo-Argentine forward has been in outstanding form with Atalanta, scoring 23 goals and four assists in 33 official matches.

His latest performance, which included a stunning four-goal display against Hellas Verona, has firmly established him as one of the most lethal strikers in Serie A.

Atalanta, recognizing the value of their star, reportedly won’t let him go for anything less than €50 million to €60 million.
