Randal Kolo Muani, a striker for Paris Saint-Germain, has been extensively linked with moves to Tottenham and Juventus this month.
TBR Football exclusively confirmed a few days ago that Tottenham had guaranteed Kolo Muani a starting spot over Son-Heung Min in the team.
Since joining PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt, the World Cup finalist’s stock has dropped in Luis Enrique’s eyes, and he is now in desperate need of regular minutes.
Randal Kolo Muani has only made two starts in all competitions for the French giants, and the 26-year-old is looking for a fresh start in his career.
Didier Deschamps asked Kolo Muani to leave PSG in January to seek more playing time.
But the Frenchman has finally decided on his next destination.
Randal Kolo Muani is set to reject Tottenham for Juventus loan move.
TBR Football learned that Kolo Muani was even offered to Arsenal, highlighting the extent to which PSG hopes to get rid of him this month.
Juventus believed they were Kolo Muani’s first choice as he looked for pastures new in January.
Juventus appears to have been justified in their confidence, as Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the versatile forward has opted to make his move to Turin in the coming days, possibly on a loan with no option or obligation to buy until the season ends.
Thiago Motta’s side will not focus on improving their defence, despite reports that Vitoria Guimaraes left-back Alberto Costa is close to signing for the Italian giants.
Tottenham’s edge over Juventus in signing Kolo Muani was said to be that they were willing to add him to their roster on a loan basis with the option to buy.
Ange Postecoglou has also urged Kolo Muani’s addition.
However, Tottenham have suffered yet another seismic blow this season, as they currently sit 12th in the Premier League.
Position | Team | Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | For | Against | Diff | Points |
12 | Tottenham | 20 | 7 | 3 | 10 | 42 | 30 | 12 | 24 |
Tottenham’s front line has been further weakened by Timo Werner’s recent hamstring injury.
Randal Kolo Muani was Tottenham’s “top target”.
According to journalist David Ornstein, Kolo Muani was Tottenham’s “top target”.
Ornstein disclosed: “He’s a target for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Juventus, who would all like to sign him on loan until the end of the season.”
“I think PSG would be open to letting him go on a temporary basis despite the fact that he is under contract until the summer of 2028 because he’s just not getting the game time and they want to rebuild the value having signed him just over a year ago for a deal worth €90 million (£75.9 million).”
According to David Ornstein, “I’m told that Tottenham see him as their top target for a versatile attacker.”
“Manchester United is considering several options, and Juventus is also involved. Those three clubs are presented to me as the current main contenders.”
However, it appears like Juventus has gotten ahead of Tottenham in the race to sign Kolo Muani.
