Paris Saint-Germain decided not to chase a traditional No. 9 during the summer transfer window, placing their trust in Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos.
However, recent rumors suggest Kolo Muani’s name is back in the mix, hinting that PSG might look for a striker next year. Manager Luis Enrique has favored using a false No. 9 instead of Kolo Muani, which is quite telling.
Last month, CaughtOffside reported, citing sources, that Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and PSG are the main contenders for Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres.
The report highlights that Tottenham are leading the interest in Gyökeres. On the other hand, Chelsea are considering him as a backup option while they plan to make another push for Victor Osimhen in January or next summer.
PSG also have an eye on Gyökeres and maintain a strong relationship with Sporting. However, CaughtOffside mentions that any potential move would hinge on the club’s decision about whether to let go of Ramos or Kolo Muani after this season, which is still up in the air.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Manchester City have identified Gyökeres as their preferred long-term replacement for Erling Haaland.
Sporting president Frederico Varandas recently shared his thoughts on the future of the Swedish star, mentioning whether he anticipates a transfer when the January window opens.
“It’s very, very difficult,” Varandas said. “Impossible is nothing in life so I can’t say that… but I’d say very, very difficult and complicated.”
