Enzo Maresca is determined to bolster his Chelsea team and has his sights set on a potential transfer target. According to reports, the club is looking to make a move for Randal Kolo Muani, who has also caught the attention of both Arsenal and Manchester United. Kolo Muani, who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Eintracht Frankfurt last year for a hefty fee, has not been able to secure a regular spot in Luis Enrique's starting lineup this season.
Despite his talents, the French striker has only started two games in all competitions and was even left out of the squad for PSG's last three matches. Enrique was asked about Kolo Muani's situation earlier this month, but chose not to comment, stating that his decisions on the field speak for themselves. With the January transfer window opening this week, Kolo Muani is expected to leave the club on loan in search of more playing time for the remainder of the season.
The latest update from French outlet Foot Mercato suggests that Chelsea will be reaching out to PSG in the coming days to discuss a potential deal for the 26-year-old. Kolo Muani's versatility and ability to play in various positions in the front line make him an attractive option for the west London club as they look to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window.
Meanwhile, Kolo Muani's situation at PSG has become increasingly difficult. The club has fortunately avoided major injuries to key players in attacking positions, but they have now lost Mykhailo Mudryk indefinitely after the winger's failed drug test. If Chelsea does end up securing a deal for Kolo Muani, they may look to offload Christopher Nkunku, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona and is reportedly unhappy with his lack of playing time in the Premier League.
However, any potential move for Kolo Muani will not be without competition. Arsenal has been offered the chance to sign him on loan as they look to strengthen their squad after the injury to Bukayo Saka. Manchester United is also keeping tabs on Kolo Muani, as well as his teammate Nuno Mendes, as their manager Ruben Amorim prepares for his first transfer window.
Apart from these English clubs, other top European teams such as AS Monaco, RB Leipzig, Juventus, Galatasaray, and AC Milan have also shown interest in signing Kolo Muani. With so many clubs vying for his signature, it remains to be seen where the talented striker will end up in the upcoming transfer window.
