Crystal Palace and Aston Villa enter race to sign 32-cap French international

10 July 2026 at 17:00

Randal Kolo Muani has been linked with a permanent exit from PSG this summer.

The 27-year-old French International striker was on at Tottenham last year, scoring 5 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions.

Tottenham are not keen on signing the player permanently, and he has been linked with Juventus.

PSG want to get rid of Kolo Muani

Apparently, PSG already had an agreement in place with the Italian club regarding a loan move with a €40 million purchase option. However, the Italian club is facing financial difficulties, and PSG is considering other clubs as potential destinations for the striker.

Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are interested in signing the player, according to Sebastien Denis. It remains to be seen whether the two English clubs make an offer to sign him. It is no secret that they need more quality in the attack, and the French international could be a useful option for them if he manages to regain his form and confidence.

Where will Randal Kolo Muani end up?

He has not been at his best for quite some time. The signing would be a bit of a gamble, and the two Premier League clubs should look to sign him on loan with an option to buy. That way, it would mitigate the risk of being potentially stuck with an underperforming player on a long-term contract.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The 27-year-old striker will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular football. Joining a team like Villa or Crystal Palace could be an exciting opportunity for him. Both clubs have competitive teams, and they could provide the 32-cap French international with regular high-level action.

Report: Tottenham transfer bid faces Serie A threat in French attacker race

10 July 2026 at 09:29

Tottenham are exploring the possibility of bringing a familiar attacker back to north London as they continue reshaping their forward line.

Spurs need more reliable competition in attack, but returning for a player who struggled to make a consistent impact last season would represent a calculated gamble rather than a guaranteed upgrade.

The situation is complicated by strong competition from Italy.

Although Tottenham can offer Premier League football and a familiar environment, Juventus appear to have the advantage because of the player’s previous success in Turin and his reported preference for returning to Serie A.

Tottenham submit offer but Juventus lead the race

According to Tuttosport, Tottenham have made an offer for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani after his loan spell at Spurs last season.

However, Juventus remain favourites to sign the 27-year-old, who also spent the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan with the Italian club.

A return to Turin currently looks more attractive to the player. Black & White & Read All Over reported that he has already agreed personal terms with Juventus and informed PSG that Italy is his preferred destination.

However, negotiations have stalled because PSG are seeking around €40 million and Juventus do not want to pay the full amount upfront.

Previous loan spells could decide transfer

The contrast between his two loans may be crucial. The Guardian reported that Kolo Muani scored ten goals during his initial spell with Juventus before moving to Tottenham on loan.

His time in England was far less convincing, raising questions over whether Spurs should invest heavily in a permanent deal.

Tottenham should only proceed if the price and salary are reasonable. Kolo Muani has pace, versatility and high-level experience, but his previous Spurs spell did not provide enough evidence that he can become their leading striker.

There is also a risk in signing someone whose first choice appears to be Juventus. Tottenham need players fully committed to the project rather than those joining because another transfer collapsed.

Overall, Spurs are right to explore the opportunity, but they should not enter a bidding war.
