Chelsea open talks to sign £76m star ahead of Man Utd and Tottenham
Chelsea have opened talks to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in France. PSG spent £76m to sign the French forward from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 but are ready to cash in less than two years later. Kolo Muani scored 23 goals during his final season with Frankfurt but has flattered to deceive at PSG and struggled for game-time in an incredible talented and young squad. The 26-year-old failed to hit double digits in his first season in the French capital and only scored two league goals last term before being sent on loan to Juventus. Kolo Muani impressed in Turin – scoring ten goals in 20 appearances – and the Serie A giants are keen to sign him on a permanent transfer this summer. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The player is also said to be keen to extend his stay at Juve but has been offered another transfer option in the form of Chelsea. L'Équipe say Chelsea have 'entered into negotiations' with PSG to sign Kolo Muani, who was heavily linked with Manchester United and Tottenham earlier in the year. Enzo Maresca has already signed one new striker this summer in Liam Delap but Chelsea are keen for another attacker to arrive through the doors at Stamford Bridge. Nicolas Jackson continues to frustrate Chelsea fans – being sent off in two of his last five games – and Christopher Nkunku is set to be sold following a dismal spell in west London. Chelsea have expressed interest in Hugo Ekitike, who is also a target for Liverpool, but have been put off by Eintracht Frankfurt's £84m valuation. IN: Liam DelapDario EssugoEstevao Willian Mamadou Sarr OUT: Marcus Bettinelli Bashir Humphreys As a result the Blues, who won the Conference League last season and qualified for the Champions League, have turned to Kolo Muani. The PSG outcast has 31 caps for France and played in the 2022 World Cup final defeat to Argentina. Kolo Muani has enjoyed a superb finish to the 2024-25 campaign, scoring six goals in his last eight appearances, including two in Juventus' opening Club World Cup win over Al Ain. Chelsea will get the chance to take another look at Kolo Muani when Juventus face Manchester City and Wydad AC in their two remaining Group G games. Maresca's side are of course also in the States for the Club World Cup and followed up their opening win over Los Angeles with a defeat to Flamengo. The west London outfit face ES Tunis in their final group game in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella says the heat in the United States has made it more difficult for European teams at the Club World Cup. 'Flamengo also have a good team, they are first in the league with a lot of international players and are in the middle of their season and physically did better than us in this moment,' he said. 'Some of our players had a few weeks off and now we need to restart again so it's a bit tough for the European teams. 'They also played in the heat and maybe these things we can control better in this moment and we can learn, but it's better it happens now in these stages rather than in the later rounds. More Trending 'The conditions are not the same as well for European teams and it's not an excuse. It's a reality and it's one of the reasons. 'But this is the tournament we need to play, we cannot make excuses and if we win the next game then we will go through. 'The two goals were pretty similar. They were crosses, they won the first contact, and just put the ball in the net. We need to improve. 'We have a tactic to defend and we can do better but it's true that it's our second game in a short space of time and these things can happen.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Irish village team play incredible line-up of football legends, with Champions League-winning hard man at the back, Everton hero up front and England star in goal
An Irish village football team picked a surprising opposition to play as they went up against a side featuring an incredible line-up of football legends. Ayrfield United FC, a local outfit based in north Dublin, pitted their wits against some of the very best as they faced a Premier League legends side including a Champions League winner, a former England goalkeeper and an Everton cult hero. The likes of Jaap Stam, David James, Jermaine Beckford and Yakubu were all part of the squad to face Ayrfield at their Blunden Drive ground on Saturday afternoon. Yakubu and Beckford rolled back the years as the former Toffees duo led the line and were seen together in a picture posted by one fan on social media. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the user wrote that Yakubu 'scored a vintage Yak goal'. In reply, a second labelled him a 'legend' upon seeing that he made an appearance in the match. Yakubu was remembered fondly for his time in the Premier League, where he scored 95 goals in 252 appearances during spells for Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Everton and Blackburn Rovers. The Nigerian's final season on Merseyside was shared with Beckford, who played for Everton after a lengthy stint at Leeds United. To give as many local players as possible the chance to put their skills to the test, Ayrfield rotated three different line-ups across 30-minute periods against the legends side - who may have been blowing by the end of the 90 minutes. Posting to Instagram after the match, former Manchester United centre-back Stam thanked Ayrfield for being invited to play in the event. The Dutchman wrote: 'Great game. Lots of quality on the pitch with great support from the fans! Very enjoyable to be out there!' In reply, Ayrfield United wrote: 'Jaap you've still got it ya legend. Brilliant to have you here today. Thank you very much for coming'. Further comments of appreciation from fans read: 'What a day! Congrats to all involved'.

Gianni Infantino insists 'players LOVE the Club World Cup' as he hits back at critics and claims it shows Americans they can 'get rich and famous from football'
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has launched a staunch defence of the Club World Cup. The tournament, in its first edition in the current 32-team format after being created by Infantino, has faced widespread criticism for a variety of reasons. Global player organisation FIFPro have highlighted the additional demands an expanded tournament will place on players and the negative impact of not having a summer break, with some stars having previously threatened to boycott the competition over workload concerns. Several games have also been played in front of swathes of empty seats, while the extreme weather of the USA at this time of the year and concerns over whether the $1billion (£740m) prize fund will unbalance leagues when teams return home have similarly been noted. Elsewhere, Infantino's claims that the tournament is 'the best against the best' have been brought into question given none of the champions of England, Spain or Italy are involved, while Bayern Munich beat Auckland City 10-0 in their first group game. However, Infantino hit back at these claims and insisted the expanded competition is going well and has the potential to change people's opinions. But it has been widely criticised for a variety of reasons, including low attendances at games 'So, maybe some criticise it a little bit, but it's something new. It's something special,' Infantino said when speaking in Manhattan at the weekend. 'It's a real World Cup with the best teams and the best players. 'It was about time that somebody invented a World Cup for club teams. 'Since 100 years, we know which is the best country in the world, but, until today, we do not really know which is the best team in the world. 'So, we thought it might not be a bad idea to create a World Cup for teams to decide.' Infantino continued: 'Well, I think the players who play, they are loving it. Harry Kane gave an interview saying, "it's a fantastic competition. It's beautiful"'. 'They (players) love it. Those who are not there, of course, they would love to be there.' There have been some early success stories of the Club World Cup, including the atmosphere generated by the likes of Boca Juniors supporters, while Brazilian sides Botafogo and Flamengo caused major upsets against PSG and Chelsea respectively. And Infantino, whose name is engraved on the tournament's trophy, has claimed if the Club World Cup and next summer's World Cup in the US are a success, the trajectory of football in the country may completely change. He added: 'The Club World Cup, and with the World Cup next year, is to show to young Americans that, actually, if you are good and if you are talented, you don't need to go to another sport, because through soccer, there is a path for glory and a path for money, as well. 'You can become famous. You can become rich if you follow a soccer path, which today young Americans don't see. 'Because they see, of course, the NFL or the NBA or baseball or ice hockey, but we will show them here, in their country, the power of soccer.'
