Who would have believed it? Randal Kolo Muani is worthy of the greatest attackers who have marked the history of the French football team in terms of efficiency. The newspaper The Team underlines a paradox in its edition of this Thursday, November 14, a few hours before the Nations League match between France and Israel at the Stade de France.
If he is in difficulty at PSG, the striker, only 25 years old, is enjoying himself with the Blues. His statistics speak for him. Judge instead:
– He has already scored 8 goals in 25 caps. Before him, only Just Fontaine, Michel Platini, David Trezeguet and Kylian Mbappé did better.
– He has scored 7 goals since the 2022 World Cup: only Blues captain Kylian Mbappé has scored more.
– He scored 6 goals for the national team in 2024: only Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has scored more in a European selection this year (34 goals in total and 7 goals in 2024). But Kolo Muani equals a top scorer like the Englishman Harry Kane, for example, also at six pawns this season.

A departure this winter from PSG?
Randal Kolo Muani and the Blues will face Israel (this Thursday, November 14) then Italy (November 17). The Parisian center forward could further improve his statistics. As a reminder, it was he who scored the last four goals with the head of the France team.
As incredible as it may seem, his playing time is starving in Paris. Randal Kolo Muani therefore hopes to gain confidence in the selection rather than in the club. He had already confided during the last Euro that he felt good with the Blues, more comfortable and liberated. This can be seen since he has a better goal ratio in the Blues than Karim Benzema, Thierry Henry, Antoine Griezmann and Zinédine Zidane.
We thus understand better why Didier Deschamps continues to trust him unlike Luis Enrique at PSG, to the point where his departure from the capital this winter seems more and more likely.
