"Discussions will continue until the end of the year and the choice will be up to the player to stay to 'continue fighting' or try the English adventure, with a brand new coach ( Ruben Amorim) who seems to want to trust him. "

Option to buy clause
According to Sky Germany, several Premier League clubs have enquired about a potential January loan, without mentioning any names specifically.
PSG, meanwhile, are looking to recoup at least half of their original outlay, putting a €40m-€50m price tag on his head.
Any loan departure would likely include an option or perhaps an obligation to purchase Kolo Muani permanently in the summer, which could entice suitors still further should they be given the option of having a low fee to secure his services permanently.
Arsenal have been linked with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres but Kolo Muani could be a cheaper alternative for the misfiring Gunners, but given his recent problems, there would be a major risk attached.
