Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim wants to sign a striker before the end of the summer transfer window and Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain is a target
Manchester United Target Randal Kolo Muani has been sent to train with the youth team of Paris Saint-Germain while Luis Enrique tries to discharge the player. Kolo Muani, 26, was lent to Juventus for the second half of last season and made a good impression by scoring 10 goals in 22 performances.
The French striker has indicated that his desire to permanently join Juve, although the Italian giants have rejected various offers by PSG since the start of the summer transfer window. That could open the door for United, who mirrors football that retains interest in the midst of Ruben Amorim's search for a new striker who has become his priority for the season.
Kolo Muani was allowed to stay with Juventus for the club World Cup, but has now returned to Paris, where he got the cold shoulder. The French newspaper Le Parisien reports that Enrique has ordered the former Eintracht Frankfurt-star to train with PSG's Under-21-team in addition to fellow-unwilled players Milan Skriniar, Marco Asensio, Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele and Renato Sanches.
After having paid Frankfurt £ 76.4 million to sign Kolo Muani two years ago and with a contract until 2028, PSG does not let him go cheaply. It is explained that the winners of the Champions League will demand a total fee of £ 52 million, while Juventus would prefer another loan agreement.
United is also not the only Premier League club interested. The report adds that Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham all have Kolo Muani on the radar, although none of them has submitted bids.
That is different from Juve, who wants the 26-year-old back. During the club World Cup, Kolo Muani made it clear that his preference to stay with the Serie A side, after being questioned about ties with Chelsea.
“I don't know anything about Chelsea,” the French international explained. “I try to concentrate on the club World Cup, which is a very fast competition.
Does Manchester United Randal Kolo Muani have to sign for £ 52 million? Say in the commentary part.
“As soon as the tournament is over, we will see what is happening on the market. If it was up to me, I would stay here: I am really happy at Juve, I feel great.”
The shortlist of United also includes Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who fell in the pecking order in Stamford Bridge after the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap for £ 60 million and £ 30 million respectively. Amorim's side was in conversation to sign Delap from Ipswich before Chelsea stole a march.
