TBR Football understands that Newcastle United have had discussions about a possible deadline day Randal Kolo Muani.
TBR Football confirmed on Sunday that Tottenham had held talks about Kolo Muani, who they came close to signing in January.
Kolo Muani had been due to return to Juventus, who he joined on loan in the New Year, but they have been unable to agree on terms.
Now the French international is assessing his options, and the Tyneside club has emerged as a contender for his signature, after Liverpool agreed a deal for Alexander Isak.
Sources: Randal Kolo Muani offered to Newcastle and Tottenham
Randal Kolo Muani’s representatives are assessing options, and they include Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Newcastle, who have now agreed to let Isak leave the club, have looked to Kolo Muani as a prospective deal, with moves for Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen looking tricky.
However, TBR Football understands that PSG’s demand that any loan must include an obligation is an issue for the Magpies.
PSG paid £77m for Kolo Muani back in 2023, but the former Bundesliga star has failed to make an impact in the French capital.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have been keeping tabs on Kolo Muani after missing out on him back in January, as he instead opted for a move to Turin on loan.
Spurs remain in the market for a left-sided attacker and could also do with cover up front, given the injury records of both Richarlison and Dominic Solanke.
Thomas Frank says Tottenham won’t sign another striker on Monday, but adding an attacker who can fill multiple roles, such as Kolo Muani, could be a smart move.
Instead of Kolo Muani, Juventus have turned their attention to Lois Openda, who we can also reveal is another name offered to Newcastle.
Randal Kolo Muani could be a great opportunistic signing for Newcastle
Kolo Muani could prove to be a great opportunistic signing for Newcastle, given the form he showed during his loan spell at Juve.
The 26-year-old looked destined to return to Serie A; however, the Old Lady have failed to reach an agreement and now he is back on the market.
Last season at the Allianz Stadium, the striker netted 10 goals in 22 appearances for Juventus, showing that he remains a huge talent.
Over the summer, he scored twice at the FIFA Club World Cup for Igor Tudor’s team and the Croatian manager will be gutted not to still have him.
