Arsenal is intensifying its pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s World Cup-winning striker Randal Kolo Muani, valued at £64 million, amid competition from Manchester United. Both Premier League giants aim to bolster their squads during the January transfer window.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has displayed defensive solidity but seeks attacking reinforcements to enhance its offensive output. Meanwhile, Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim, is focused on squad development and hopes to secure players that can help achieve short-term goals.
According to TBR Football, several Premier League clubs have accelerated negotiations over a potential move for Kolo Muani. Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly considering a loan arrangement for the French striker, potentially with an option to purchase later.
Kolo Muani, once aiming for a key role in Luis Enrique’s PSG squad, has seen reduced playing time due to Goncalo Ramos’ return to full fitness.
This has attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City, all keen on strengthening their attacking options in January. PSG appears open to a loan deal with a future purchase clause.
Kolo Muani reportedly favors a move to the Premier League, increasing his appeal to English clubs.
Manchester City sees him as a potential fix for its attacking concerns under Pep Guardiola. Arsenal, actively seeking forward options, views a January loan move for Kolo Muani as a viable solution.
Manchester United is similarly eager to boost its attacking depth, with Kolo Muani fitting Amorim’s tactical plans. However, United has faced difficulties finalizing transfer deals despite having several players available for potential moves.
Old Trafford insiders insist that United’s interest in Kolo Muani is unrelated to Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho’s recent exclusions from the squad against Manchester City.
Their omissions were reportedly due to concerns about their training performance, not transfer considerations.
