Last week, RMC Sport reported Randal Kolo Muani decided to join Tottenham Hotspur after being impressed by their project. He arrived at the north London club on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day.
Luis Enrique left the striker out of his plans at PSG, and the club let him join Juventus in January. They were keen on bringing him back in the summer, but negotiations collapsed, allowing Tottenham to move.
The Europa League winners will be presented an easy route to buy the 26-year-old next summer.
Former Bordeaux left-back Benoît Trémoulinas has told L’Equipe it seems impossible for him to return to Paris after his temporary spell at Tottenham. Le10 Sport have relayed his comments.
Last week, the France international scored a brace and contributed an assist in Spurs’ 5-3 Champions League defeat to PSG. Despite impressing against his parent club, Trémoulinas insists Kolo Muani has no future under Enrique at Parc des Princes.
“Perhaps he’s realistic about how he arrived in the squad he joined. Maybe the style of play of this Paris Saint-Germain under Luis Enrique didn’t work with Randal Kolo Muani. However, what we can say about the player is that he has always had an impeccable attitude,” he said.
“Even Luis Enrique and his staff said it: in every training session, he gave it his all. He trained even harder, while many players would have given up, used injuries as an excuse to leave. He never gave up. So, what we can hope for Randal Kolo Muani is that he simply gets back on track elsewhere.
“Could he return to PSG while Luis Enrique is still there? No, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it because Luis Enrique has a well-defined set of players in his system, and Kolo Muani isn’t one of them, so there’s no point in hoping for anything.”
The frontman has two goals and two assists from 11 matches for Thomas Frank’s side. His entourage are optimistic that he’ll regain his best form.
Kolo Muani has a contract lasting until 2028 at PSG and Transfermarkt currently value him at €30m. With Enrique not considering him, PSG could offer Spurs a reasonable price to buy the Frenchman.
