Juventus Attempts to Edge Arsenal, Man Utd for PSG’s €40M-Rated Talent | OneFootball

The role of Randal Kolo Muani at Paris Saint-Germain looks limited, as manager Luis Enrique appears hesitant to make him the starting No. 9. As a result, there could be European clubs looking to secure the player on a favorable transfer deal.

With transfer rumors swirling, the French forward recently shared his mindset amid an uncertain future. So far, Kolo Muani has played only 416 minutes across all competitions, fueling speculation of a potential move in January.

TBR Football reported last month that intermediaries have reached out to several Premier League clubs—including Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United—to gauge their interest in Kolo Muani.

Amid the ongoing rumors, Kolo Muani spoke this week about his future in the French capital. The 25-year-old just talked about the mindset he’s having to navigate this challenging situation.

“You have to keep the mental side,” Kolo Muani said. “It is up to me to continue to work so that the manager trusts in me. I am keeping my head on my shoulders and I’m going to continue to work. Afterward, he was directly asked whether he still has the hope of establishing himself at PSG: “I hope so.”

According to Tuttosport (h/t Le10Sport), Juventus are exploring options for a backup to Dusan Vlahovic as Arkadiusz Milik’s ongoing issues have left Thiago Motta without a reliable attack alternative.

Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is reportedly looking at Kolo Muani from PSG, though talks are still in the early stages. How much could the 2022 FIFA World Cup runner-up cost? Transfermarkt puts his current transfer value at €40 million, which is a massive drop from what PSG paid for in 2023.
