Tottenham handed chance to sign £43m forward they really wanted in January
A striker who has been on Tottenham’s radar for a long time is now back in the market, but the Lilywhites face competition from two other Premier League clubs for the player.
While Spurs secured Mathys Tel on an initial loan deal in January before making the deal for the Frenchman permanent in the summer, he was not the first option that the Lilywhites went for in the last transfer window.
It was widely reported that Spurs tried until the very last moment to convince Randal Kolo Muani to come to N17 in January, but the Frenchman chose to join Juventus on loan instead.
It was reported last month that Tottenham are ready to pounce on Kolo Muani this summer if Juve are not able to tie up a permanent deal for him, and the North Londoners have now seemingly been handed the chance to do just that.
Tottenham have been contacted about Randal Kolo Muani’s availability
Journalist Graeme Bailey has now revealed that the 26-year-old’s move to Turin has stalled as the Bianconeri have not been able to reach an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.
As a result, the France international has now been offered to Tottenham Hotspur by the Parisians, but Newcastle and Man United are also keen on signing the striker.
Bailey told TBR Football: “Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus has stalled. They want him back, but they want a loan with an option. PSG are not keen, and they believe there are other clubs willing to take him on better terms.
“Kolo Muani has enjoyed life in Turin, but we are told that he remains keen on England – he was very close to joining Tottenham in January.
“Spurs are one of those contacted again, but so have the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle, both of whom are obviously in the market for new forwards.
“He is suddenly a name who is possibly back on the market, and he is intriguing to these Premier League clubs. He is still seen as a huge talent.”
How much would Kolo Muani cost?
According to the update from TBR Football, PSG are willing to sell the centre-forward for €50m (£43.3m) after Luis Enrique deemed him surplus to requirements.
The report says that the Ligue 1 giants would also be willing to loan out Kolo Munai for a loan fee of €5m (£4.3m) and an obligation to buy for €45m (£39m).
However, it is unclear if Spurs want to add another striker to their squad this summer, with Thomas Frank hinting last week that Richarlison could stay.
