Manchester United are reportedly lining up a bold move to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, with Juventus also in contention, according to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.
Facing a clear need to revamp their attacking line after a disappointing goal return last season, United have identified the French international as a potential solution.
The 26-year-old forward, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, impressed with eight goals in 16 Serie A appearances.
Despite that success, Juventus are reluctant to finalise his permanent move due to financial limitations, reportedly priced out due to off-field constraints.
Man United still need more attacking additions
United’s attack badly underperformed last term, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combining for just seven Premier League goals between them.
After PSG spent nearly €90 million on him in 2023, they are reportedly now willing to offload him for around £35-39 million, a significant markdown on their original outlay.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Newcastle United have also been tipped as interested parties should United falter, though Juventus and United currently lead the race.
With United looking to offload players like Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho, they are expected to create the funds to sign an attacker who could solve their goal scoring crisis.
