08:38Many suitors for Kolo Muani
AC Milan, Juventus, Tottenham, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Bayern Munich or Leipzig: here is a very flattering list of suitors drawn up by the newspaper L'Équipe for PSG and France team striker Randal Kolo Muani. The center forward who failed in Paris would have come to terms with the idea of leaving the capital, even if his club does not want to let him go for any amount. Recruited in exchange for €90M a year and a half ago, the former FC Nantes player will undoubtedly not be sold for much less than €60M, the amount hoped for by the Parisian leaders.

The goalkeeper could be followed by Fabien Centonze, a former Ligue 2 player who served his time in Loire-Atlantique according to L'Équipe and would not suit Antoine Kombouaré.

While the transfer market has opened its doors, Olympique de Marseille is primarily thinking of removing certain defensive elements. L'Équipe is talking this week about a desire to sell Lilian Brassier, just a few months after her arrival on loan with an option to buy from Brest, or to find a solution for Bamo Meïté. The latter is followed by Montpellier who still want to sign him on loan, but this seems unlikely. Stade Rennais would also have expressed an interest in the 23-year-old young man who arrived from Lorient.
