Randal Kolo Muani, the 26-year-old striker signed by Paris Saint-Germain in the summer mercato in September 2023 and under contract until June 2028, is one of the club’s biggest transfer targets. But he hasn’t managed to make a name for himself so far, and rumors of a departure have been rife. This Monday, L’Equipe assures us that his transfer, which seems to have already been decided by PSG, will not be easy to complete this winter.
“A loan, with or without an option to buy, now seems the most realistic option. Manchester United are the club who have made the most concrete moves in recent weeks (before the arrival of Ruben Amorim), but the Red Devils have a number of urgent matters to deal with before they can move forward.
Leipzig’s interest is real, but still in its infancy. We’ll also have to keep an eye on AS Monaco. The Principality have announced their search for a striker following the injury to Folarin Balogun. The increasingly likely departure of “RKM” will also open the door to an attacking recruit at PSG.”
We remain cautious, as these are still just rumours. But we suspect that Kolo Muani will be pushed towards the exit this winter, while the return of 18-year-old Senny Mayulu pushed him out of the squad yesterday against Lyon. The difficulty will be to reach an agreement.
The striker undoubtedly has certain expectations, as does Paris. Even if a loan with an option to buy could facilitate the deal. But the price has to be right. Nothing says that clubs are going to rush for a striker so lacking in confidence. It’s a good thing he’s been performing well for the French national team.
Let’s wait and see where he goes next. If indeed there is one during this winter mercato.
