PSG splurged around €80 million for Randal Kolo Muani in the summer of 2023, but the Frenchman failed to live up to expectations.

After falling out with manager Luis Enrique, Kolo Muani joined Juventus earlier this year on loan until the end of the season.

Despite making a bright start to his spell in Italy, the former Eintracht Frankfurt’s form has nosedived.

The Italian giants are expected not to make his transfer permanent, meaning he will return to Parc des Princes this summer.

With no future under Enrique, Kolo Muani could be on the move again, and PSG have identified Guriassy as a top target to reinforce their attack.

Guirassy has been one of the bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for Dortmund.

He has netted an astonishing 33 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season, strengthening his status as one of Europe’s finest goal-scorers.

He is also the joint top-scorer in the Champions League with 13 goals, which includes a memorable hat-trick against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

His impressive performances have also caught the attention of European heavyweights.

The Guinean striker’s future at Signal Iduna Park depends on Dortmund’s Champions League qualification, as they are fifth in the Bundesliga table, trailing Freiburg by one point.

However, Die Borussen are hoping to keep hold of the 29-year-old as they value him as a key player for their project.

Guirassy, who is contracted until 2028, has also signalled his desire to continue his progress with Dortmund.

There is also a €70 million release clause in his contract, but it is only exclusive to a select few clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

It could make the negotiations tougher for Les Parisiens with Dortmund.

Having already splurged €70m for Khvicha Khvarastkshelia in January, PSG are unlikely to break the bank again for Guirassy in the summer.

Moreover, Enrique has achieved incredible results by deploying Ousmane Dembele as a No. 9 this season.

The French forward has been the driving force behind PSG reaching the Champions League finals.
