Paris Saint-Germain could have a No. 9 issue, as Randal Kolo Muani’s name is now in the rumor mill while Gonçalo Ramos is injured. Moreover, manager Luis Enrique has often preferred a false No. 9 over Kolo Muani.
CaughtOffside reported on Friday that Manchester United have a strong interest in signing Kolo Muani, but he isn’t expected to be available in the January transfer window.
Another report reveals that the Premier League side are prepared to make a €70 million offer to bring him to Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the Parisians are linked to another French attacker to bolster their forward group next season.
Calciomercato reports that PSG scouts have been in Italy to watch Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram in action during the early months of the season.
So far, there hasn’t been any direct contact with Inter or his representatives, just a quiet presence in the stands to get a closer look at the 26-year-old, one of the club’s possible targets for next summer.
Among players with his skill set, Thuram is high on PSG’s radar, making him one to watch in the transfer market. If PSG decides to pursue Thuram, they might skip negotiating with Inter and go straight to his representatives. His contract has a release clause set at around €90 million.
That’s the kind of offer needed to start serious talks and potentially lure him away from Inter. For now, PSG is keeping a close eye on him, while Inter is enjoying his goals and holding onto him tightly.
