Randal Kolo Muani, the 27-year-old French international striker who was struggling at Paris Saint-Germain (contract until 2028), has been loaned to Tottenham for the 2025-2026 season without an option to buy, as an agreement with Juventus (where he was on loan from January to June 2026) failed to materialize. His future is now uncertain. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Liverpool is ready to compete with the Italian club, who would like to bring him back.
“Liverpool has entered the race”
Liverpool has entered the race, struggling to replace Salah, who has already announced his departure at the end of the season. Despite a somewhat lackluster season with Spurs (5 goals and 4 assists in 36 matches), Liverpool’s management has identified Kolo Muani as a player capable of replacing the Egyptian in the squad, thanks to his versatility and ability to play even on the right wing. This is a quality he has already demonstrated at times this season with Tottenham, but especially with the national team.
“Juve has no choice but to step up the pace”
In this context of unexpected competition, Juventus has no choice but to step up the pace (contacts with Kolo’s entourage have reportedly been very frequent recently) and, above all, try to qualify for the next Champions League. With the certainty of receiving millions of euros in UEFA bonuses, fending off English competition will be easier.
As always, we remain cautious when faced with a rumor. There’s nothing concrete, so there’s no certainty. Neither about Juventus having revived the deal, nor about Liverpool’s attempt. We’re always wary of the “game” surrounding the transfer window, with agents and clubs dropping hints to stir things up. Not to mention that some media outlets sometimes jump to conclusions based on uncertainty.
Here, we can’t rule out interest in Kolo Muani, even if seeing him replace a legend like Salah might seem a bit surprising. Juventus is still wary of the lack of financial resources that led to a deadlock in negotiations with PSG. For the moment, the French international’s future remains unclear. The World Cup could help attract attractive offers, if he has a real role to play. It’s not impossible that Liverpool could be among them.
