Striker Randal Kolo Muani (25, Paris Saint-Germain, PSG), who is in the same class as Lee Kang-in (23), denied the transfer rumors and said he would not leave during the upcoming winter transfer market. Considering that Kolo Muani was initially widely expected to push for a transfer because he had not received a regular starting opportunity throughout this season, it is a “great reversal.”
According to European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano on his social network service (SNS) on the 17th (Korea time), when asked about the transfer rumor in January, Colomuani said, “It’s not true at all,” adding, “I’m not even thinking about (transfer).” “I’ll continue to do my best for PSG.”
Kolo Muani is a striker who wore a PSG uniform last summer. After scoring 23 goals (17 assists) in 46 matches during the 2022-2023 season in Frankfurt, he joined the team after receiving a love call from PSG, which was reorganizing the team. Kolo Muani became a controversial figure as he skipped training as negotiations stalled due to Frankfurt’s continued increase in transfer fees.
It was a highly anticipated recruitment, with PSG investing 95 million euros (about 140 billion won) as a transfer fee, but Colo Moani did not live up to expectations. In fact, he scored only nine goals (six assists) in 40 official games (21 starts) last season. It was argued that he would be released after a year last summer, but PSG, which wanted to keep the offense as much as possible with the departure of Kylian Mbappe (25, Real Madrid), continued to accompany Colo Moani.
However, 비아마켓 is not meeting expectations again this season. He failed to meet the soccer philosophy of PSG coach Luis Enrique who demands striker plays and diverse movements, and emphasizes diversity, forcing him to compete to become a starting member. In fact, he only played in 12 matches (two starts) in all competitions. Despite limited playing time, he has failed to make impact. He has only two goals as a point of attack.
In the end, Colomuani, who has not been given regular starting opportunities, focused on transferring during the winter transfer market. PSG also planned to sell Colomuani if a satisfactory offer came up. Meanwhile, rumors of a transfer have flared up as multiple clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Juventus are reportedly competing to recruit Colomuani.
However, the mood has changed again as Colomouni denied the rumor that he would be transferred to PSG during the winter transfer window. Notably, Colomouni said, “I will work harder and definitely make an impression when Enrique appoints me. I can do that,” displaying confidence without being daunted.
