Recruited by Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 for 90 million euros after a huge season with Eintracht Frankfurt, Randal Kolo Muani (27 years old) never adapted to the demands of Luis Enrique and never knew how to find his rhythm in the Parisian team. Criticized by the press and disliked by certain supporters, the French international left to relaunch himself with Juventus Turin. A choice that paid off as his six months at the Old Lady were a real success on a personal level. In 22 matches with the Piedmont club, Kolo Muani has scored 10 goals.
Returning to Paris last summer, the 27-year-old striker naturally wanted to continue in Piedmont this summer. Finally, after long negotiations and a withdrawal from Juventus, due to lack of agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham intervened in the matter and won the bet. And since then, the tricolor has had a lot of trouble. Author of a simple double… against PSG, before scoring against his former team Frankfurt last week, in C1, Kolo Muani has not scored a single goal in the Championship in a London team ranked 14th in the Premier League.
Luciano Spalletti decides between Icardi and Kolo Muani
But in the middle of the winter transfer window, Juventus wanted to bring him back to relaunch their attack. A complicated bet, especially since Tottenham does not wish to end the loan of its French striker in January. “Kolo Muani did well here last year, but he no longer plays for Juventus today. We will see in the coming days, but I cannot give percentages”Spurs coach Thomas Frank recently explained. But the Old Lady has not given up and, like Luciano Spalletti, is trying to convince Tottenham in these last hours, by admitting her preference to the Frenchman, rather than Mauro Icardi.
“I didn’t say that we should take Icardi, I only said that he was a very good footballer. He has the role of scorer in his DNA. That’s all. When I was coach of Inter, he helped me a lot by scoring a lot of goals (…) Now we have the opportunity to play with Kolo Muani, it’s a reality, we have to raise our level and our absolute quality. We need a player with certain characteristics, but we didn’t ask for Icardi.he blurted. Juve will only have a few hours to convince their English counterpart…
