Randal Kolo Muani, the 25-year-old striker signed by Paris Saint-Germain in September 2023, is one of the club’s biggest transfer targets. However, he has so far failed to make an impact, and rumors of his departure are resurfacing. L’Equipe takes stock of the situation this Tuesday morning.
“Neither party wants to be the cause of the divorce”.
“Faced with this admission of failure, the situation remains uncertain. Neither party wants to be the cause of the divorce. The player is necessarily marked by the period he is going through.
Officially, on the question of his future, they say: “He will conform to the club’s expectations. This is a way of turning the debate back to PSG, who paid €90m knowing the player’s qualities and weaknesses.
“It will be Luis Enrique’s decision, and his alone.”
As far as the club is concerned, nothing has been decided yet. PSG are not stopping themselves from being active in the January mercato, but recently they have been thinking more about other positions (full-backs). For the moment, there’s no question of pushing Kolo Muani out to attract another striker. But that will be Luis Enrique’s decision, and his alone.
If he does, given his purchase price, Paris will not sell him, which will also limit the conditions for a possible move.”
The player was bought at such a high price that to see him leave for a small sum would be a failure on the part of the club. What’s more, it has to be said that PSG have asked for patience, and Kolo Muani’s situation is difficult, with position changes and irregular playing time.
On the other hand, from a sporting point of view, Kolo Muani hasn’t really scored any points. Except for a few cameo appearances. We need to find a way for the striker to show more.
Otherwise, a departure would be logical, and it might as well be during the winter, so as to waste as little time as possible for both parties. However, the negotiation will be very difficult. Possibly also in finding a replacement, although that’s certainly easier.
Let’s wait and see what happens. There’s still time, and soccer can move very fast. Even if the French international seems a little blocked at PSG.
