Randal Kolo Muani has already given Aston Villa transfer answer
Randal Kolo Muani has discussed his situation at PSG amid transfer links to Aston Villa.
The January transfer window is now open and Villa have the opportunity to freshen up Unai Emery’s squad before it closes at 11pm on February 3. According to French newspaper L’Equipe (via Get Football News France), Kolo Muani is one of the players on the club’s radar.
Villa are said to have become the latest team “to join the race” for the 26-year-old’s signature. Kolo Muani is down the pecking order at PSG and it is said to be clear that an exit will be on the cards at some point in the future.
The front man reportedly has a €60 million (£50m) price tag on his head. However, PSG would also consider sanctioning a loan deal with an option to make the move a permanent one included.

Emery has indicated Villa will not sign players simply for the sake of it this month. He has said: “Only if we can get something to really help for the next month we are going to do it.
"We are going to be alert in case we have the possibility to add in our squad to do it. Always they (V Sports) are very involved with me, us and Aston Villa. They want to enjoy each moment and how they can support us, how we can improve and increase our level.
"Always they are trying to share with us the possibility to add or link players for the next month in the window. In January we are speaking about the possibility but last year was similar, it is not an easy window."
Speaking in November, Kolo Muani said he hopes he still has a future at PSG. “You have to keep the mental side. It is up to me to continue to work so that the manager trusts in me. I am keeping my head on my shoulders and I’m going to continue to work,” he said. Asked whether he still hopes to establish himself at PSG, he said: “I hope so.”
