Randal Kolo Muani set to leave PSG

Reports have emanated from France that Randal Kolo Muani could leave Paris Saint-Germain for as little as  €40m.

The 25-year-old striker seems to have reached a point of no return after failing to live up to the €90m price tag since making the move from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023.

L’Équipe understands that the French giants are now, for the first time, prepared to cut their losses. 

The France striker has found playing time hard to come by in his first season at PSG. This has led to the expectation that the current campaign would mark a return to form but his struggles continue.

While the former FC Nantes man continues to perform for the French national team, he is experiencing a contrasting situation at PSG.

Although Luis Enrique had publicly defended the forward, his actions displayed a lack of trust. 

After starting just two games all season, Kolo Muani in one of them, against OGC Nice was substituted at half-time. He was among the substitutes in Sunday’s Le Classique victory over Olympique de Marseille, while Enrique started Ousmane Dembélé in the No.9 position, which spoke volumes.

Even without the injured Gonçalo Ramos to contend with, the former Nantes striker can’t get a look in. 

According to reports, talks have taken place with the France international’s entourage, and PSG may now be willing to sanction a move.  L’Équipe reported that Kolo Muani is valued between €40-50m.

Borussia Dortmund and Juventus both showed interest in the summer. However, the price tag was the stumbling block. 

Depending on the managerial appointment at Manchester United, the Red Devils and Arsenal could be tempted into a move this summer. 

Arsenal may be a better option, as they currently play Kai Havertz in a false nine role. But the move is not expected to happen during the winter window.
