PSG and agent hope Arsenal make move for Kolo Muani | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Randal Kolo Muani‘s agent are hoping Arsenal will make a move for the striker this January, as the player’s situation in Paris becomes increasingly untenable.

That’s according to L’Équipe, who report that the 25-year-old striker is growing frustrated with his lack of playing time and could be on the move this winter.

Kolo Muani, who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in summer 2023 for around €90m, has seen his role significantly reduced in recent months.

Despite showing his ability during October’s international fixtures with France (scored two, assisted one), he remained on the bench during PSG’s recent 3-0 win over Marseille, and was limited to just nine minutes in the Champions League clash against PSV.

His limited involvement has prompted speculation that a January exit may be on the cards.

L’Équipe highlight Kolo Muani’s growing dissatisfaction, noting that his profile does not appear to fit PSG coach Luis Enrique‘s current tactical plans.

Kolo Muani’s valuation is now estimated between €40m and €50m, with PSG reluctant to sell at a loss but open to exploring options. The striker is reportedly keen for more playing time, aware that his prospects at the club have dimmed despite his initial promise.

PSG and Kolo Muani’s agent are reportedly hopeful that Arsenal could step in.

With Mikel Arteta often deploying Kai Havertz as a makeshift striker and Gabriel Jesus continuing to struggle with injuries and form, a January addition to strengthen the forward line could be on the cards.

Kolo Muani’s versatility—able to play both as a central striker and on the wing—makes him an attractive prospect for the Gunners.

Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have also previously expressed interest in the French forward, but financial constraints have so far made a deal unlikely.

As the January transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will make a decisive move to bring Kolo Muani to the Emirates, offering him the opportunity for a fresh start and regular game time.
