Tottenham Revive Interest in Randal Kolo Muani as Attacking Reinforcements Remain a Summer Priority
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly still keen on securing the services of Randal Kolo Muani as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season. According to TBR Football, the North London club has reignited its interest in the French international, having previously attempted to sign him during the January transfer window.
Spurs endured a disappointing domestic campaign, finishing a lowly 17th in the Premier League. However, they salvaged some pride—and significantly, a route back to elite European competition—by lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy after a dramatic final win over Manchester United. The unexpected silverware not only added a bright spot to an otherwise frustrating season but also secured them a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Despite the triumph in Europe, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy opted for change, parting ways with Ange Postecoglou. The club swiftly appointed former Brentford boss Thomas Frank as the new head coach, tasking him with spearheading a new era at Tottenham. With fresh investment lined up and a renewed focus on long-term squad building, the recruitment team has made strengthening the forward line a top priority—and Kolo Muani is said to remain a prominent name on their shortlist.
Kolo Muani Still on Tottenham’s Radar
Journalist Graeme Bailey of TBR Football reports that while Tottenham maintain a strong interest in the striker, Kolo Muani himself is believed to prefer remaining in Italy, where he is currently on loan at Juventus. The 26-year-old forward joined the Serie A giants on a short-term deal from Paris Saint-Germain in January, and his stay has since been extended through the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the summer, following a string of impressive displays.
During his stint in Turin, Kolo Muani managed to hit double figures in goals—netting 10 times in just 20 appearances—while also contributing two assists. His pace, physical presence, and intelligent movement have earned praise from the Juventus hierarchy, who are understood to be interested in retaining his services beyond the summer. However, their preferred route is reportedly another loan, rather than a permanent transfer.
This hesitation could present an opening for Premier League suitors. Should Juventus fail to reach an agreement with PSG, the French champions are likely to entertain offers from other interested clubs, including Tottenham. Spurs view Kolo Muani as a player who could add dynamism, versatility, and depth to their attack, potentially lining up alongside stars like Heung-min Son or Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke—another forward heavily linked with a summer switch to North London.
Financial Hurdles Could Complicate Deal
PSG originally paid £76.4 million to sign Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, but are reportedly willing to accept a lower figure now, with a valuation in the region of £50-70 million being floated. That price range could tempt Tottenham, especially with their renewed Champions League status potentially increasing their summer budget and attracting higher-profile targets.
For Thomas Frank and the Spurs recruitment team, Kolo Muani represents both a statement signing and a practical solution to their attacking shortcomings. His blend of top-level experience, youth, and room for development aligns with the club’s broader ambitions. However, with Juventus still in the picture and the player’s own preferences uncertain, any deal is likely to hinge on how PSG manage their negotiations in the coming weeks.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, Tottenham’s pursuit of Kolo Muani will be one to watch closely. With European football back on the agenda and a new manager at the helm, the club is clearly intent on making bold moves to ensure last season’s struggles aren’t repeated. Whether Kolo Muani ends up being part of that rebuild remains to be seen—but Spurs are certainly keeping the door open.
