Tottenham have knocked on the doors of PSG for the services of Randal Kolo Muani, who has been offered to Newcastle United.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have enquired about the availability of Randal Kolo Muani as they look to add more firepower to their squad on deadline day. Spurs have a long-standing interest in the PSG forward, and they have established contact to learn more about a potential transfer.
The North London club have been informed about his availability. While Spurs are quite serious about their pursuit and the player seems interested in a move, the deal entirely depends on the financial side of things. PSG have made their demands quite clear, they are willing to sanction a loan departure, only if there is an obligation to buy.
Randal Kolo Muani made a name for himself at Eintracht Frankfurt, and on the back of his impressive rise, PSG forked out £77 million to sign the 26-year-old striker back in 2023. Despite the player’s massive potential, he failed to cement his spot in their team.
The French international ended up joining Juventus on a short loan spell for the second half of last season. He managed to revive himself during his spell at the Turin-based club. He was involved in a total of 22 matches and finished with 10 goals and three assists.
While he was expected to secure a permanent move to the Old Lady, the Serie A giants failed to strike a deal with PSG. With Randal Kolo Muani available, Tottenham have reignited their interest in him, having failed to sign him during the winter window.
Newcastle United could make a move as well
Apart from Spurs, Newcastle are also in the mix to sign Randal Kolo Muani. The Magpies are in the market for a new number nine as they have agreed to sell Alexander Isak to Liverpool. According to a report from TBR Football, the Tyneside club have been offered the chance to sign Kolo Muani, and they have had serious discussions about signing the French international.
The player’s representatives are assessing options available, and Newcastle United and Spurs seem to be likely destinations at this stage. While the Magpies were working on a deal to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen, that move looks very tricky. As a result, they are also considering making a move for Kolo Muani.
However, PSG’s demand that any loan must include a buy obligation is seen as an issue for the Magpies. With Isak leaving and the deadline fast approaching, it will be interesting to see if Newcastle do make an offer in the next hours or if Tottenham end up winning the race. Nevertheless, Newcastle United may not pursue Kolo Muani, with Wissa on the verge of arriving at St. James’ Park.
