Randal Kolo Muani (27) will return to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but he won’t stay there. The Frenchman is coming off the back of a difficult campaign with Tottenham Hotspur. His form meant that, despite Didier Deschamps’ fondness of the forward, he was a notable omission from his FIFA World Cup squad.

His future at club level remains open. Kolo Muani’s priority was for a return to Juventus, where he spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan. It was a successful stint for the former Eintracht Frankfurt forward.

Kolo Muani attracts interest from Premier League and Bundesliga

Aware of Kolo Muani’s preference, PSG have been trying to strike a deal with Juventus. However, whilst Les Parisiens have sought to respect the player’s wish, Get French Football News understands that their patience with the Serie A side is waning.

Amid financial difficulties, Juventus are struggling to provide the financial guarantees to meet PSG’s terms and get a deal over the line. All the while, interest from the Premier League and the Bundesliga is growing, Get French Football News understands. Whilst PSG were initially in exclusive talks with Juventus, out of respect for Kolo Muani’s wishes, the bidding process has now been opened up to other suitors.

Juventus’ attempts to conclude a deal to sign Randal Kolo Muani (27) from Juventus are not progressing, as other clubs join the race to sign the Frenchman, as per a report from Foot Mercato. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are among the interested parties.

Last season, Kolo Muani scored just once in 30 appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur. It was a difficult spell for the Frenchman, who has now returned to parent club PSG. However, his future does not lie at the Parc des Princes. A departure is expected in the coming weeks.

Juventus had looked his most likely destination. A loan with a buy option worth €40m was close, Foot Mercato understands, however, the Italian side’s financial difficulties have seen the deal stall. PSG are losing patience and have therefore opened the door for competitors to swoop in; Juventus have been informed of this.

Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Borussia Dortmund are all interested in signing Kolo Muani. It was reported earlier this week by L’Équipe that, despite a difficult spell in North London, Tottenham Hotspur are also interested.

Despite struggling while on loan last season, Randal Kolo Muani (27) could return to Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report from L’Équipe.

Last season, Kolo Muani scored just once in 30 appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur. It was a difficult spell for the Frenchman, who has now returned to parent club Paris Saint-Germain. However, his future does not lie at the Parc des Princes. A departure is expected in the coming weeks.

It was reported by Foot Mercato at the end of June that an agreement between PSG and Juventus was close. The France international thrived during his brief six-month stint in Italy the season before his Spurs loan. He scored 10 goals in 22 games for the Serie A club.

L’Équipe now reports that, while there is concrete contact between Kolo Muani and Juventus, as reported both in France and Italy, there is also contact with Tottenham Hotspur. A surprising return to North London may be on the cards.

Ibrahim Mbaye (18) wants to leave formative club Paris Saint-Germain amid interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report from Foot Mercato.

Mbaye has accrued plenty of international experience in recent months. Since committing to Senegal, he has played in an Africa Cup of Nations and also scored in a FIFA World Cup. Prior to heading to AFCON in the winter, Mbaye was featuring regularly, but his gametime decreased upon his return from the tournament.

He has been playing a bit-part role under Luis Enrique, and with the European champions pursuing a deal for Maghnes Akliouche, that may not change next season. As a result, Mbaye wants to leave the club, despite his entourage attempting to dissuade him from making such a decision.

Aston Villa, who were a touted suitor back in January, are very interested in signing the forward, Foot Mercato understands. Tottenham Hotspur are also in the race, but to a lesser degree than their Premier League rivals.

Folarin Balogun (24) will be allowed to leave AS Monaco this summer, for the right price, Get French Football News understands, and interest in the USMNT forward is growing.

It was reported by Foot Mercato on Tuesday that Balogun had been shortlisted by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, whilst, following Goncalo Ramos’ transfer to AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain’s interest was also growing. Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by former Olympique de Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi, has made the former Arsenal man his priority.

However, there is now growing interest from Borussia Dortmund, according to a report from Bild. The Bundesliga side’s interest in Balogun is growing, amid doubts about Serhou Guirassy’s continuation at the club. The German side are, however, prioritising a move for Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani, who is also a target for Red Bull Leipzig.

Last season, the Monaco striker netted 19 goals and registered five assists in 43 games in all competitions.

AS Monaco’s Folarin Balogun (24) is reportedly on Paris Saint-Germain’s shortlist to replace Gonçalo Ramos (25), whose transfer to AC Milan has been confirmed, according to information from Foot Mercato. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be among the clubs interested in signing the former Arsenal player.

Having enjoyed a successful season on Le Rocher, where he proved decisive on 24 occasions (19 goals, five assists) in 43 appearances across all competitions in 2025-26, the US international would tick all the boxes for the type of striker the Parisian management are looking for.

ASM, which will have to part with some of their most valuable assets to balance the books, would not be opposed to the New York City-born player leaving, although he remains under contract there until 2028. However, whilst PSG are indeed monitoring Balogun’s situation, no official contact has reportedly been made by either side as yet.

BlueCo-owned Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg Alsace are considering the appointment of former Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank, according to reliable French football insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter. The Alsatians are in the market for a manager following Gary O’Neil’s rather unexpected exit barely six months into the job. The Brit replaced Chelsea-bound Liam Rosenior before making a return to the Premier League with Ipswich Town.

With Strasbourg set to turn up for pre-season on July 8, the Ligue 1 side needs to act quickly. To fill in their managerial vacancy, one of their leads points to Frank. The Dane is currently a free agent after an ill-fated stint at Tottenham Hotspur. The former Brentford FC head coach replaced Ange Postecoglou in North London, but the Spurs’ poor season cost him his job back in February. He’s reportedly “in BlueCo’s crosshairs” to take over at Strasbourg

Boca Juniors are reported to have made Olympique de Marseille goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli (34) their top target for the summer transfer window, according to TyC Sports.

Valued at around €9 million by the Marseille management, the Argentine goalkeeper, whose contract expires in 2027, is said to have already shown interest in the prospect of playing for the Argentine club. However, the possibility of him seeing out the final year of his contract and then joining his former club, Estudiantes, on a free transfer next summer cannot be ruled out. An offer from Tottenham Hotspur could also be on the cards.

In any case, this would still be a costly move for Boca, although OM’s need to reduce its wage bill this summer could work in their favour.

And should the Xeneize be unable to complete the deal, players such as Lanús’ Nahuel Losada (33), Vélez’s Álvaro Montero (31) and SC Internacional’s Sergio Rochet (33) would also be under consideration.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are among the suitors interested in signing Mason Greenwood (24) from Olympique de Marseille during the summer transfer window, according to a report from L’Équipe. The French outfit are forced to sell players to comply with Financial Fairplay (FFP), and the former England international is believed to have the highest market value.

The North London clubs are both in the market for attackers during the summer, and with Greenwood potentially available, they could make a move for the former Manchester United forward. Roma are also interested in the attacker who is reportely valued at €80m by OM.

Manchester United set to profit from any Greenwood sale

The forward’s former club will be set to profit from any move the Englishman may make while the transfer window is open. When the 24-year-old made his move to Les Phocéens, the Premier League club inserted a 40% sell-on clause in the deal.

Tottenham Hotspur have made an enquiry about Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier (24), as per a report from L’Équipe.

Chevalier only joined PSG from formative club Lille OSC. However, brought in to succeed Gianluigi Donnarumma and be the No.1, he has struggled. In the autumn, a string of mistakes saw his place as the starter come under threat, and by the turn of the year, it was Matvey Safonov who definitively stole the No.1 jersey.

His last appearance in the UEFA Champions League came in a Group Stage game against Sporting CP (20/01/26), whilst his last league appearance came on 23rd January. The Frenchman does not wish to remain second-choice next season and so a departure is a possibility.

Besiktas have just made an enquiry for Chevalier, L’Équipe understands. However, he is prioritising a “more seductive” project than the one offered in Turkey. The publication adds that Tottenham Hotspur also made an enquiry a few weeks back.
