The France international, who rose to prominence at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, has been linked with a summer exit for several months, with Chelsea and Manchester United previously keen on landing him.

Both clubs eventually decided to look elsewhere in their search for a new number nine, with Man Utd landing on Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund - who is set to be unveiled as a Red Devils player on Saturday - and Chelsea signing Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal.

The Blues are reportedly still in the hunt for another forward; hence the links with Sepe Elye Wahi and Dusan Vlahovic, and Kolo Muani could still be an option.

However, it seems PSG is his most likely destination, with a spot opening up in their starting XI thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s uncertain future at the club. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG’s president, has placed Mbappe on the transfer list and is currently auctioning him off to clubs around Europe in an attempt to secure a fee for the Frenchman.

His contract is set to expire in 2024, and Mbappe has told the club he will not sign an extension. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Al-Hilal and several Premier League teams have expressed their interest in Mbappe, but a deal has not yet been agreed.

Despite the fact that Mbappe is still at the club, PSG are pushing to sign Kolo Muani to help bolster their attack this summer. Furthermore, the Frenchman has now told Eintracht Frankfurt that he wants to be sold this window, according to a report from RMC Sport.

PSG’s summer business

Adding Kolo Muani would be another huge pick-up in an impressive summer of incomings at the Parc des Princes. Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Ugarte, Kang-in Lee, Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio have already arrived, while Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele are set to join them in the coming days.

Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos have both left on free transfers, with the former joining Inter Miami and the latter still without a club.
