Randal Kolo Muani could be Premier League-bound as PSG are open to letting the striker leave on loan in the January window.
According to TBR, a host of Premier League sides are on alert to the possibility of signing Randal Kolo Muani on loan in January. The 2022 World Cup finalist is reportedly not in Luis Enrique’s plan, as PSG are open to sanctioning a loan exit for the £77 million striker, with Arsenal and the Manchester Clubs keen.
Randal Kolo Muani to leave PSG on loan?
Randal Kolo Muani has had a tough period since joining PSG in a £77 million from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023. The high-value acquisition has failed to live up to his reputation, as Luis Enrique has not seen the striker taking on the goalscoring burden that has piled up since the exit of Kylian Mbappe.
At the start of the season, many had expected Kolo Muani to become one of the key stars of this team, but he has been on the periphery. Despite the serious injury to Goncalo Ramos at the start of the season, PSG boss Enrique has used Marco Asensio as his starting centre-forward, with Kolo Muani restricted to a substitute appearance.
In fact, Kolo Muani has only managed two starts in Ligue 1 this season, while his minutes are also drying up in the Champions League. PSG were adamant about keeping him a while back, and now it appears they might have changed their stance, as the Parisians are open to letting the 2022 World Cup finalist leave on loan in January.
Kolo Muani was recently offered to Premier League sides, and now those interested parties are all alert to the possibility of landing the striker. Manchester United held an interest as they might enter the January window looking for a new forward, with the 2022 World Cup finalist certainly a part of their shortlist.
Arsenal and Manchester City keen on Kolo Muani
Arsenal are one of the interested sides in Kolo Muani, with their recent performances in front of Gopal resurrecting the talk of needing a new striker for the title push. On loan, he could be a good enough option for the Gunners, who have other players like Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres on their list, although the pair would likely be made available in the summer.
Manchester City are also reportedly in the running for Kolo Muani, with Pep Guardiola yet to replace the departed Julian Alvarez. In any case, they are short of a striker and viable cover for Erling Haaland, who is taking on the goalscoring burden on his own.
