Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United enter Randal Kolo Muani chase
Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are all keen on acquiring the services of PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani.
Randal Kolo Muani is expected to be on the move this summer, amidst interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world. According to a report by Foot Mercato, Manchester United and Newcastle United are both keen on his signature and have already initiated contact to sign him.
Meanwhile, Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Aston Villa could also enter the race for his services, depending on Ollie Watkins’s future. All three Premier League clubs could battle Juventus, who are pushing to sign him on a permanent basis after an impressive loan spell last time out.
Kolo Muani made a name for himself while playing for Eintracht Frankfurt. On the back of his impressive performances, he made the move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023. While the French giants had a lot of expectations from the 2022 World Cup finalist, the move has not worked out.
After losing prominence in the team under Luis Enrique, he ended up joining Juventus on a short loan spell during the second half of last season. He managed to revive his career with some exceptional performances for the Bianconeri.
The 26-year-old French striker was involved in a total of 22 matches, and he ended up contributing towards 13 goals (10 goals, 3 assists). Randal Kolo Muani’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, as multiple top clubs are now pushing for his signature.
Juventus have been impressed with his overall contribution. His finishing, physical strength, and ability to involve teammates in play have stood out, and the club is now working to secure his services on a permanent deal.
While the Frenchman still has three years left on his deal at PSG, the Ligue 1 champions are ready to sanction his departure for the right price. Even Randal Kolo Muani is ready for a new adventure in his career.
Premier League trio could battle Juventus
Apart from Juventus, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa have all entered the race to sign Randal Kolo Muani. All three clubs have established contact to learn more about a potential transfer.
The Red Devils are in the market for a new striker and, having failed to secure Hugo Ekitike’s services, they have made Kolo Muani a priority target for the summer. Ruben Amorim wants a proven goal scorer to lead his attack next season, and the French striker could certainly help their cause.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United also have him quite high on their wishlist amidst uncertainty around Alexander Isak’s future, as the Swedish international has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Saudi Pro League clubs. The Magpies have established contacts to sign him as they are convinced he is an ideal fit for their project, both in the short and the long run.
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are also keeping a close eye on his situation, and they could step up their interest if Watkins ends up leaving Villa Park this summer.
