Randal Kolo Muani has been generating a lot of attention lately, with plenty of talk about a potential transfer. There’s increasing speculation about a move to the Premier League.

A recent report from TBR Football reveals that Kolo Muani has been offered to several Premier League clubs as the January transfer window approaches. Intermediaries have started reaching out to gauge interest from teams in England.

Among those contacted are Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United. CaughtOffside also reported earlier this month that Manchester United is very interested in signing Kolo Muani, but he’s not expected to be available during the January window.

Kolo Muani can probably see the writing on the wall, but journalist Laurent Perrin recently stated that the forward isn’t for sale.

“According to the latest news, Kolo Muani is not for sale,” Perrin said. “That’s the feedback we have from the club. It’s surprising since Luis Enrique no longer counts on him at all (did he ever count on him?), and at the same time, he is shining with the national team.

“So, in my opinion, it is the perfect time to sell him. The problem is likely more financial than sporting: he was bought for €90 million on a whim by Nasser. Who, today, could spend such an amount on him? Luis Campos is a remarkable businessman, but he can’t perform miracles.”

While it’s unlikely that the Frenchman will leave this summer, Football Transfer’s Robin Bairner believes that if the Parisians want to improve their goal-scoring, they have to move on from Kolo Muani. As a result, this could be the only way the Red Devils secure this player.  

“Randal Kolo Muani appears totally out of favour with the coach while Gonçalo Ramos is still weeks away from returning from injury, yet it is a player of such goal-scoring instinct that is required to elevate this young team to a higher level,” Bairner wrote in his PSG Talk Extra Time column.

“Could we see a January move? Possibly, but it likely requires Kolo Muani to be moved on, and it’s unclear who might take a chance on him.”
