With the January transfer window approaching, speculation about Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is heating up due to his limited playing time this season.
The situation worsened on Sunday when the French forward was left out of PSG’s matchday group against Olympique Lyonnais, raising further questions about his role under Luis Enrique.
Kolo Muani has struggled to make an impact as PSG’s main striker, managing just 453 minutes across all competitions. This lack of game time has intensified rumors of a possible January exit.
According to L’Équipe, a loan deal—potentially with an option to buy—appears to be the most likely scenario. Manchester United had shown strong interest, but their focus has shifted since Ruben Amorim’s arrival.
RB Leipzig remain interested, though talks are still in the early stages. Meanwhile, AS Monaco could emerge as serious contenders as they look to strengthen their attack following Folarin Balogun’s injury.
Are West Ham a serious contender for Randal Kolo Muani
After Enrique decided to leave the Frenchman out of the squad for the clash against Lyon last weekend, there are several reports regarding the future of Kolo Muani.
Le Parisien’s Benjamin Quarez and Marc Mechenoua report that Manchester United made inquiries a few weeks ago, while West Ham, RB Leipzig, and several Serie A clubs are also interested. Furthermore, their information reveals that a loan deal with a buy option appears most likely.
TBR Football reported on Monday that Arsenal, Man United, and Manchester City have all expressed an interest in taking Kolo Muani in January as all three look to enhance their attacking options.
Additionally, the report mentions that PSG are open to a loan deal with an option to buy later on. For Premier League clubs interested in Kolo Muani, there’s good news—he’s said to be very keen on a move to England.
Last month, Football Transfers reported that PSG are considering loaning out Kolo Muani during the January transfer window, with Newcastle and West Ham emerging as the main contenders. While no official asking price has been set, Transfermarkt currently values the forward at €30 million.
