Sports papers Gazzetta and Tuttosport report that the Ligue 1 giants are now open to discussing an initial loan move with an obligation to buy, so the Old Lady will push to finalise a deal.
According to Gazzetta, PSG want to tie the obligation to buy to easily achievable targets while valuing the France international between €40m and €45m.
Tuttosport confirms that PSG's demand is not less than €40m, but their request could be closer to €50m.

In the meantime, Chelsea and Manchester United remain interested in the French striker, who already spent the second part of 2024-25 on loan at Juventus.
According to Gazzetta, the biggest threat for the Bianconeri comes from Old Trafford, while Tuttosport maintains Chelsea is currently the most interested Premier League club in the 26-year-old.
However, if Kolo Muani were to move to Old Trafford, then the Bianconeri would pounce on Rasmus Hojlund, a former Atalanta striker who will likely get less playing time at Manchester United if Kolo Muani joins the Red Devils.

Liverpool UNLOCK move for Alexander Isak after striker bid confirmed
Liverpool were knocked back in their first formal approach for Alexander Isak. Newcastle informed the Reds they had NO WISH to conduct business over the 25-year-old striker. Liverpool's bid was believed to be in the region of £120m - with Isak now pushing hard for a move away. It's been claimed that TWO factors are holding up the potential record-breaking transfer. Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! One - Newcastle's valuation. Eddie Howe's side do not want to sell Alexander Isak - but these are far from ideal circumstances. He does not want a new contract and has asked to explore a transfer away from St. James' Park this summer. The Sweden hitman is under contract until 2028 - meaning Newcastle are well within their rights to ask for a big fee. That price has been reported at £150m - although a deal could possibly be done around the £135m-mark. Newcastle find a breakthrough Liverpool's bid will have to rise from its current level at around £120m. And secondly - Newcastle need strikers. Having lost Callum Wilson, the only other specialist in the position that Howe has got at his disposal is untested William Osula. The Magpies have been chasing forwards throughout the transfer window but have been frustrated in their attempts to add to their strike line. But now a breakthrough is on the horizon - which in turn could unlock Liverpool's deal for Isak. Newcastle bidding for Sesko That's because several sources - including Newcastle insider Keith Downie - are reporting that a bid has been made for Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian, 22, is under contract at RB Leipzig but it's believed that he will be allowed to leave this summer should certain conditions be met. Newcastle are competing with Manchester United for this transfer - but appear to have struck first. Sesko in, Isak out? 'Newcastle have made a formal bid to RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko,' Downie writes on X. 'The bid is €75 + €5m — which matches Leipzig's valuation. (£65.5m + £4.3m) 'NUFC have presented their vision to the Slovenian striker and made it clear they want the deal to happen. 'Sesko is considering his situation with Manchester United also at the table. He is open to both projects.' So now we play the waiting game. Newcastle have been rejected this summer by the likes of Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo and Hugo Ekitike - who joined Liverpool for an initial £69m. Despite their Champions League status, Eddie Howe is finding it difficult to attract star names to the North East. Let's see what happens with Sesko - who is being lined up as the crucial domino in Liverpool's Isak deal.

Devils Stars Eye 2026 Winter Olympics as Camp Invites Roll In
With the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan fast approaching, national teams have begun announcing training camp rosters, and several New Jersey Devils players are in the mix. For the first time since 2014, NHL players will officially participate in the Olympics. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed the news to earlier this year: 'We are pleased to confirm that NHL players will be participating in the 2026 Olympic Games,' Bettman told 'Olympic participation will showcase the skill and talent of NHL players on an international stage. We are proud to collaborate with the IIHF, NHLPA, and IOC to bring the best hockey players in the world to the Olympics and make this happen in a way that benefits the game globally.' Devils Already Locked In Each participating country was allowed to name the first six players to their Olympic roster earlier this July. Five Devils have already secured their spots: Nico Hischier, Timo Meier, and Jonas Siegenthaler - Switzerland Ondrej Palat - Czechia Simon Nemec - Slovakia Canadian Devils Left Off Camp List Hockey Canada recently released its 42-man orientation camp roster ahead of the Games. While stars like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, and Cale Makar headline the list, no current or former Devils were invited, despite nine Canadian players on New Jersey's roster. The NJ Devils team's current national breakdown is: 36% Canadian 20% American 12% Swiss 8% Finnish 8% Russian 8% Swedish 4% Czech 4% Slovak Sweden: Bratt and Markstrom in the Mix Two Devils are widely expected to represent Sweden: Jesper Bratt Jacob Markstrom Despite not being named among Sweden's first six roster players, both are projected by most analysts to make the final team. Bratt made a strong impression in the Four Nations Face-Off, though he'll still need to earn a spot in final selections. Markstrom's case is more complex. He suffered a knee injury during the Four Nations tournament and didn't appear in any games, which could impact his chances of being named Sweden's starting goaltender. While he's never played in the Olympics, Markstrom has represented Sweden in both the IIHF World Championship and World Junior Championship, and has publicly said that playing in the Olympics is a lifelong dream. He's expected to compete for the starting role against: Filip Gustavsson (Minnesota Wild) – Started in the Four Nations tournament in Markstrom's absence Linus Ullmark (Ottawa Senators) Samuel Ersson (Philadelphia Flyers) – Unlikely to make the Olympic roster What About Jack Hughes? Team USA has yet to announce its Olympic camp roster, but it's widely expected that Jack Hughes will be among those selected. Looking Ahead Whether already selected or still competing for a spot, several New Jersey Devils are on track to represent their countries at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. With NHL talent returning to the Games, fans can expect a highly competitive, and star-studded, tournament. Photo Credit: © David Kirouac-Imagn Images
