HERE WE GO: Manchester United Seal Breakthrough Deal for Randal Kolo Muani!
After several weeks of intense negotiations, Manchester United have finally made a significant breakthrough in their pursuit of a top-class striker.
The Red Devils have reached a verbal agreement to sign French forward Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth £63 million, plus an additional £10 million in performance-related add-ons.
The 26-year-old is expected to don the iconic No. 18 jersey, famously worn by club legend Paul Scholes.
This transfer marks another key step in United’s summer rebuild.
Having already brought in Matheus Cunha, and with Bryan Mbeumo reportedly close to arriving from Brentford, the club is now turning its attention to finalizing the signing of a marquee centre-forward — and it looks like Kolo Muani is the man.
The French striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, where he impressed with 13 goal contributions in just 22 appearances (8 goals and 5 assists).
Juventus are keen to keep him permanently, but United’s interest may change the picture significantly.
United are reportedly exploring a loan move with an option to buy, which would allow them to evaluate Muani’s adaptation to the Premier League before committing to a permanent transfer.
Kolo Muani originally joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 for a fee of around £76.4 million, but struggled to secure a consistent starting spot at the French club.
Despite this, his loan stint in Serie A helped him rebuild confidence and regain form.
His performance in Italy showed that he can be a real threat up front, and it’s no surprise that a club like Manchester United have taken a strong interest in his services.
Known for his quick movement, intelligence in the final third, and ability to link up play, Kolo Muani is a modern-day No. 9 who doesn’t just wait in the box but actively contributes to the build-up.
His ability to drop deeper and combine with midfielders adds a layer of versatility that United’s frontline could really benefit from.
He also boasts an impressive 31% shot-to-goal conversion rate during his loan spell at Juventus — a statistic that highlights his clinical nature in front of goal.
German legend Lothar Matthäus has even described Muani as “ice-cold” for his composure when finishing under pressure.
If Manchester United can secure this deal and provide him regular playing time, the Premier League may be witnessing one of its next big attacking stars in action at Old Trafford.
