The Red Devils had been strong contenders for the French international, with reports earlier this week claiming they were preparing an official offer. However, it appears Juventus have stolen a march on their rivals, securing a loan deal for the talented striker.

A Rising Star

Kolo Muani emerged as a rising star at Nantes, impressing with his physicality, speed, and goal-scoring ability. His performances earned him a move to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he enjoyed a stellar season, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists in the Bundesliga.

This impressive form earned him a call-up to the French national team, where he played a crucial role in their run to the World Cup final. Kolo Muani's pace and direct running style make him a difficult player to defend, and he possesses the versatility to play across the front line.

PSG Struggle

Despite his potential, Kolo Muani has struggled to find consistent playing time at PSG this season. With Kylian Mbappe and Gonçalo Ramos ahead of him in the pecking order, the Frenchman has been limited to a bit-part role.

With Luis Enrique preferring to utilize Marcos Asensio as a false nine, Kolo Muani has found himself increasingly marginalized within the PSG squad. This has led to speculation about his future, with a loan move appearing to be the most likely outcome.

Juventus Set to Benefit

Juventus are looking to bolster their attacking options and Kolo Muani represents an exciting addition to their squad. The loan deal, which does not include an option to buy, provides an opportunity for both the player and the club to assess the fit.

If Kolo Muani can rediscover his best form in Turin, Juventus could look to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
