The French forward, currently on loan at Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain, has impressed in Serie A, drawing interest from several Premier League clubs, including the Reds.
According to TBR Football, Liverpool have scouted Muani this season as they consider the future of their attacking lineup.
Why Kolo Muani?
Liverpool are actively looking to strengthen their frontline, particularly in the no. 9 role.
With uncertainty surrounding Darwin Núñez’s future and Mohamed Salah’s long-term status, bringing in a dynamic, proven goalscorer is a priority.
Klo Muani more than fits the bill.
The 26-year-old struggled for game time at PSG but has rediscovered his form at Juventus, scoring five goals in his first three league appearances – more than any Serie A player in this century.
His combination of pace, technical ability, and versatility makes him an attractive prospect for a Liverpool side that values fluidity in attack.
How does he fit Liverpool’s plans?
Jürgen Klopp’s departure marks a new chapter, with incoming head coach Arne Slot set to implement his tactical philosophy.
If Slot maintains Liverpool’s high-pressing, fast-transition approach, Muani’s ability to stretch defences and operate across the front line could make him an ideal signing.
Liverpool have monitored him throughout his loan spell in Italy, with the club’s recruitment team keeping close tabs on his development.
His impressive form has also caught the attention of Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle, but Liverpool’s long-term need for a quality no. 9 gives them a strong case to pursue the Frenchman.
The financial aspect
PSG are reportedly willing to cash in on Muani, aiming to recover as much of the £77 million they spent on him as possible. That price tag may be a sticking point, but Liverpool have shown they are willing to invest in the right talent.
If Núñez is moved on, the funds from his sale could help facilitate a move for Muani. Liverpool’s decision will ultimately depend on their summer budget, squad priorities, and whether they see the French striker as the long-term solution up front.
Competition for his signature
With Arsenal in need of a centre-forward, Chelsea looking for competition for Nicolas Jackson, and Newcastle preparing for a potential Alexander Isak exit, the Reds face stiff competition.
However, Liverpool’s project under new leadership, combined with their ability to offer a starring role, could be an attractive proposition for Muani.
