Man Utd & Tottenham face fresh competition in Randal Kolo Muani pursuit

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of signing Randal Kolo Muani this month have been hampered by reports of significant interest from Serie A giants Juventus.

Kolo Muani, a €90m signing in the summer of 2023, has fallen out of favour under Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique and has been made available for transfer this month, with a number of clubs exploring loan moves.

Man Utd and Spurs have both made contact about a move for the Frenchman, but Gianluca Di Marzio notes that fellow suitors Juventus have decided to go all-in on Kolo Muani in the January window.

Juve's desire to sign a new striker this month is no secret. They have looked at West Ham's Niclas Fullkrug and Joshua Zirkzee from Man Utd, but are believed to see Kolo Muani as their top priority over the coming weeks.

There is confidence in Turin that the 26-year-old will be open to the move, with Juve now working quickly to try and wrap up a deal ahead of their competition.

PSG are on the hunt for a new forward to replace Kolo Muani. Talks are on with Napoli over winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is also of interest to Man Utd, while Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is among the targets.

Once PSG find a replacement, they are expected to give the green light to Kolo Muani's departure.
