Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old French national team striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, has been loaned out to Juventus Turin until the end of the 2024-2025 season without an option to buy. He initially bounced back well, and the Turin club announced its intention to keep him. However, this has yet to materialize, and we are awaiting an official announcement. Foot Mercato reports, however, that Manchester United and Newcastle would like to take advantage of a long-delayed agreement.
“According to our information, both English clubs have identified the French striker as a priority target to fill the number 9 position this summer.
For their part, Newcastle are keeping a close eye on the situation of Alexander Isak, at the heart of several rumours of a move to Saudi Arabia. Anticipating a possible move, the Magpies have made contact with Kolo Muani, convinced that his all-round profile and international experience would make him a key component of the project.
Interested clubs are expected to go on the offensive in the next few days.”
Nothing impossible, but we’re bound to remain cautious when it comes to the many rumours but very few concrete elements in this dossier. With Juventus struggling to come to terms with PSG, doubts are beginning to creep in, and a number of clubs may well try their luck. Some of them are from the Premier League, where the mercato is very active thanks to substantial resources. A league that could appeal to Kolo Muani.
But we’re waiting for certainties, as we’re mostly sailing in a blur at the moment. We can’t wait for some certainty.
