Man United and Tottenham ‘are exploring a loan deal for PSG star Randal Kolo Muani’ – as Premier League rivals look to bolster in January after early season struggles
Man United and Tottenham are exploring a loan deal for PSG star Randal Kolo Muani, according to reports.
The Frenchman joined the Champions League side from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 for £79million having scored 26 goals and assisted 17 in 50 matches.
He had also starred for his national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, coming off the bench to score in the semi-final against Morocco before starting in the final versus Argentina.
Things have not clicked for him at PSG, however, with the forward enduring a disappointing maiden campaign at the Parc des Princes, finding the net just nine times in 40 games.
This season Kolo Muani’s stock has dropped even further, with boss Luis Enrique limiting the 26-year-old to just two league starts so far.
Now, according to The Athletic, United, Tottenham and Italian giants Juventus are keen on signing the Frenchman on a loan deal.

Asked about Muani’s future at PSG last month, Enrique insisted: ‘I could speak about it but I won’t because my decisions say it all, even if as I have said, all of my decisions can be changed.’
Muani has three-and-a-half years left on his contract with Les Parisiens, with the deal reportedly worth upwards of £200,000-per-week.
In the 2022 World Cup final the forward had the chance to win the tournament for France but was denied by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez’s ‘save of the century’.
France have been able to get more out of Kolo Muani than PSG, with the striker scoring three goals in his last five outings for Les Bleus.
However, he has managed just three starts all season for PSG and has failed to make the squad for their last two league games.
The French giants have reportedly spoken with Kolo Muani’s delegation and are willing to let him start afresh elsewhere in the new year.
The 26-year-old, who rose from the French third tier to the World Cup final in three years, is commended for his electric pace and strength.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have already made one addition to their squad during the January transfer window after completing the £12.5million of Antonin Kinsky.

The Czechia youth international has signed a six-year contract with the Premier League side.
Kinsky has kept 12 clean sheets in 19 league appearances for Slavia Prague this season.
Tottenham are currently short of goalkeeping options, with Brandon Austin, 25, making his debut for the club in their 2-1 defeat against Newcastle on Saturday.
First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is expected to be out until the end of February following ankle surgery.
