Tottenham learn how much a deal for Randal Kolo Muani will cost
In the past few weeks, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus have been in a race to secure the services of Randal Kolo Muani. Now, the two clubs have learned how much a deal for the forward will cost.
The race for Randal Kolo Muani’s signature
Randal Kolo Muani has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in the January transfer window, with the French international reportedly eager to leave Paris Saint-Germain in search of more regular game time.
Several elite European clubs, including Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich, have expressed interest in signing the 26-year-old forward.
However, Juventus appear to have surged ahead in the race after productive discussions with Kolo Muani’s representatives.
Tottenham, under the stewardship of Ange Postecoglou, had earlier engaged in extensive talks regarding Kolo Muani.
While the North London outfit held optimism about their chances, they were aware that competition was fierce, with other clubs also advancing negotiations.
It is understood that Juventus’ recent talks have been particularly influential, with reports suggesting that Kolo Muani has indicated his readiness to join the Turin-based giants.
Despite this development, Tottenham have not completely abandoned their pursuit, although their inability to finalise the deal last week may have allowed Juventus to gain the upper hand.
In fact, a more recent report from L’Equipe on Monday evening suggested that Spurs have an advantage over Juventus and have submitted an offer to PSG for Muani.
Tottenham learn the cost of Randal Kolo Muani deal
The financial terms of a potential deal for Randal Kolo Muani have now become clearer, providing a crucial update for the clubs vying for his signature.
TBR Football has exclusively revealed that the deal is expected to be structured as a loan with an option to buy, valued at approximately £50 million.
This valuation is a significant reduction from the £76.4 million that Paris Saint-Germain paid to acquire Kolo Muani in the summer of 2023.
This revised arrangement is seen as a more palatable option for interested clubs, particularly as it provides flexibility with a lower initial commitment.
Juventus are reported to be advancing swiftly, with their priority being to secure an agreement early this week. Meanwhile, Tottenham remain in contention but are aware of the increasing likelihood that Kolo Muani may favour the Serie A side.
French manager urges Kolo Muani to join former side Juventus
The decision by Randal Kolo Muani to prioritise a move to Juventus over Tottenham Hotspur appears to stem from multiple factors, with a lack of UEFA Champions League football at the North London club this season playing a significant role.
TBR Football has disclosed that Tottenham’s current position outside Europe’s premier competition, and their likely absence next term, has made Juventus a more appealing prospect for the forward.
Additionally, Kolo Muani is understood to have sought counsel from French national team manager Didier Deschamps, who has reportedly endorsed a move to Juventus.
