According to Gazetta Dello Sport are expected to send a new offer for Kolo Muani but and Chelsea could provide stiff competition for the 26-year-old. This comes days after the sides ruled themselves out of trying to recruit Newcastle talisman Isak.

The report adds that PSG value Kolo Muani, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Juve, between €40-45 million (£35-39m) – although Tuttosport, via Football Italia, believe they could hold out for 50m (£43.7m). Whether United, who are still in search of a number nine, and Chelsea, who have signed forwards Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, are willing to pay that much for him remains to be seen.

The Italian press adds that if former Nantes striker Kolo Muani, who appears to not have a future at PSG, didn’t move to Juventus, then the Old Lady would strike out for United’s Rasmus Hojlund. Incidentally, the ex- man scored 10 goals in 22 appearances for the Italian giants last term.

Despite these reports suggesting United and Chelsea are interested in Kolo Muani, ESPN has claimed that the Blues and turned down the chance to sign the PSG attacker. With just over a month to go of the transfer window, the potential suitors are likely to be revealed.
