Newcastle have entered discussions with a French forward as they look for a potential replacement for Alexander Isak.
Isak wants to join Liverpool, with Newcastle eager to bring in another forward before allowing him to depart.
As reported by Sky Germany, Newcastle are now in ‘concrete’ talks with Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani.
France international Kolo Muani is said to be top of Newcastle’s shortlist following Benjamin Sesko’s decision to join Manchester United.
There are other potential options for Newcastle including another PSG striker in Goncalo Ramos as well as Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson.
Kolo Muani spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, for whom he scored ten goals in 22 games.

He signed for PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 and has played 54 times for the French club, while he has scored eleven goals and provided seven assists.
Kolo Muani won the Ligue 1 title twice with PSG and also won the Coupe de France in the 2023-24 campaign.
On the international stage Kolo Muani has scored nine goals in 31 games for France and had a key chance saved by Emiliano Martinez in the 2022 World Cup final as Argentina prevailed.
Newcastle brought in winger Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joining on loan from Southampton.
Sean Longstaff joined Leeds, while Lloyd Kelly signed for Juventus and Martin Dubravka signed for Burnley.
