Chelsea Transfer Target Finally Speaks Out Amid Growing Speculation

Randal Kolo Muani has addressed rumors connecting him to a potential Chelsea move, revealing his preference to secure a permanent transfer to Juventus during the upcoming summer window.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward joined the Parisian club in 2023 but struggled to establish himself at the Parc des Princes. His inaugural season yielded only nine goals, leading to a loan move to Juventus halfway through the previous campaign.

The 26-year-old has flourished in Turin, netting 10 goals across all competitions for the Italian side, with two strikes coming at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. His impressive form in Italy has allegedly caught Chelsea's attention, with L'Equipe reporting the Blues' interest in acquiring his services.

"I have no information regarding Chelsea, my concentration remains on the Club World Cup," Kolo Muani stated to Tuttosport regarding the transfer rumors. "The market situation will become clearer after the tournament concludes. Given the choice, I would remain here since I'm genuinely content at Juventus."

The French striker's desire to make his Juventus stay permanent represents a setback for Chelsea's pursuit, though the London club has already bolstered their forward line.

Having Nicolas Jackson in their ranks and recently acquiring Liam Delap from Ipswich Town this month, Chelsea may not require another striker addition—particularly one like Kolo Muani who possesses similar characteristics to their current attacking options.

Juventus currently lead the race for the former Eintracht Frankfurt player, with his departure from PSG appearing certain this summer. Chelsea would need to accelerate their efforts if they wish to secure Kolo Muani's signature.
