Arne Slot’s men could see a struggling Tottenham Hotspur forward join their ranks next season, with the Reds preparing to ‘accelerate’ their interest.

Liverpool are reportedly lining up a shock move for the Spurs man, who is looking to extend his Premier League stay in the event of a Tottenham Hotspur relegation.

Randal Kolo Muani, currently on loan at Tottenham Hotspur from PSG, is looking to extend his Premier League stay ahead of both his return to France and a potential Spurs relegation.

The Frenchman, whose hopes of playing World Cup football were recently boosted significantly by Hugo Ekitike’s injury, has struggled for the North London club this season.

Kolo Muani has registered just two Premier League goal involvements, one goal and one assist, in 17 starts and 25 games during the 2025-26 campaign.

The forward’s first Premier League assist came against Liverpool during March’s 1-1 Anfield draw — the singular domestic point gained by Igor Tudor during his short tenure.

According to a report from Calcio Mercato, Liverpool have joined the race for Kolo Muani’s signature, which is also highly sought after by Juventus who the Frenchman spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan with.

In the event of Liverpool making an offer for the Spurs forward, it is expected that PSG would have no objections in selling and Juventus would likely be pipped by the Reds’ pull.

Kolo Muani’s contract with PSG expires in 2028 and his valuation has plummeted in the years since his arrival in France for over £80 million from Frankfurt in 2023.

According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Frenchman's entourage are no longer interested in loan moves, meaning any Liverpool advances would likely have to be for the permanent signing of Kolo Muani.

The Spurs attacker now has more motivation than ever to end the season strongly - to appear alluring to potential suitor clubs, to secure World Cup football with France, and to prevent a historic Tottenham Hotspur relegation.

Spurs return to Premier League action, deeply in need of a win, with a trip to already relegated Wolves on Saturday.
