The 27-year-old could continue in the Premier League by making a switch to Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>His failure to impress for Tottenham in the league doesn\u2019t seem to have put off Arne Slot\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>The frontman\u2019s Premier League stats are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Appearances: 25<br \/>\nTotal minutes: 1,382<br \/>\nGoals: 1<br \/>\nAssists: 1<br \/>\nExpected Goals: 1.89<br \/>\nExpected Assists: 1.49<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Sport Witness <a href=\"https:\/\/sportwitness.co.uk\/liverpool-willing-to-accelerate-for-signing-reds-entering-battle-bad-news-for-rival\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">covered claims from Italy<\/a> that the Reds enter race to sign him and that\u2019s bad news for Juventus.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool complicate case for Juventus<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazzetta.it\/Calcio\/Serie-A\/Juventus\/21-04-2026\/juve-kolo-muani-liverpool.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a> now pick up on that and cover the latest on the Anfield club and the Old Lady.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper state Liverpool are looking at Randal Kolo Muani to replace Mohamed Salah, who will leave after this season.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018alarm bells are ringing\u2019 at Juventus because Liverpool have \u2018shown strong interest\u2019 in the France international.<\/p>\n<p>He spent the second half of last season on loan at the Turin club, who failed to extend his stay. This allowed Tottenham to sign him, but the Serie A side are again chasing him for the summer. He has always shown his willingness to join the Italian club.<\/p>\n<p>Gazzetta state the striker earns \u20ac7m per year and is valued at \u20ac35m, and both are within Juve\u2019s reach. The case becomes complicated with the Merseyside club entering the race.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s concrete interest in Kolo Muani forces Juventus to take countermeasures. The latter have no choice but to accelerate contact with his camp to try and beat the Reds.<\/p>\n<p>The Champions League qualification will make it relatively easier for Juventus to fend off the competition from Liverpool. They are now fourth in the table, five points ahead of fifth placed Como.<\/p>\n<p>Our take: Kolo Muani mainly to replace Ekitik\u00e9<\/p>\n<p>Randal Kolo Muani has mainly operated as a No.9 and a handful of times on both wings.<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Salah\u2019s preferred role at Liverpool is on the right wing and therefore, it doesn\u2019t make sense for the Tottenham Hotspur man to replace him.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kolo Munai could be a suitable option to replace Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitik\u00e9, who will be out for long after suffering a serious setback earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool will challenge Juventus in the chase for Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s Randal Kolo Muani in the summer.
