Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani has turned down interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, opting instead for a loan move to Juventus, according to reports.
Kolo Muani, who fell out of favor under PSG manager Luis Enrique late in the year, was made available for loan. His availability attracted attention from several clubs seeking to strengthen their attacking options.
While both United and Tottenham made enquiries, Juventus emerged as the frontrunners for his signature. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, a deal has now been finalized.

The striker is expected to travel to Italy in the coming days to complete a medical and finalize a straightforward loan agreement with no purchase option included.
Juventus’ move for Kolo Muani effectively ends their pursuit of Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, a target they hoped to reunite with his former Bologna manager Thiago Motta before deeming the deal too complicated.
PSG reportedly approved Kolo Muani’s departure after securing a €70m agreement to sign Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, paving the way for the striker’s exit.
