Juventus’ Loan Hopes Dash as PSG Want at Least €45M for Man City, West Ham Target

With the January transfer window approaching, speculation about Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is intensifying, largely due to his limited playing time this season.

The situation escalated further on Sunday when the French forward was excluded from PSG’s matchday group against Olympique Lyonnais, raising more questions about his role under Luis Enrique.

Kolo Muani has struggled to secure a consistent place in PSG’s attack, accumulating just 453 minutes across all competitions. This lack of game time has fueled rumors of a potential January exit. According to L’Équipe, a loan move, possibly with an option to buy, appears to be the most plausible outcome.

While Manchester United showed strong interest in Kolo Muani earlier, their focus has shifted under new manager Ruben Amorim. RB Leipzig remains a potential destination, though discussions are still in the early stages.

Meanwhile, AS Monaco could become serious contenders for his signature as they look to strengthen their attack in the wake of Folarin Balogun’s injury.

Juventus makes attempt to secure Randal Kolo Muani

Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports that Juventus have inquired about Randal Kolo Muani, as he no longer appears to fit into Luis Enrique’s plans at PSG. Nonetheless, the Serie A side would only consider a loan deal, but so far, PSG have not shown any openness to that, aiming to recoup at least €40 million to €45 million.

GIVE ME SPORT reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Manchester City is considering a loan move for Kolo Muani to bring him to the Etihad Stadium during the upcoming winter transfer window.

The Sky Blues are exploring this option after failing to replace Julián Álvarez, leaving them without a backup for first-choice striker Erling Haaland.

Le Parisien’s Benjamin Quarez and Marc Mechenoua report that Manchester United made inquiries a few weeks ago, with West Ham, RB Leipzig, and several Serie A clubs also expressing interest. Information suggests that a loan deal with a purchase option is the most likely scenario.

While no official asking price has been set, Transfermarkt currently values the forward at €30 million.
