It's no longer a secret, PSG's patience with Randal Kolo Muani seems to have reached its limits. Arriving in the summer of 2023 for 95 million euros with the approval of Luis Enrique, the striker has so far not met the expectations placed on him. Despite the initial hopes and confidence displayed by the Spanish coach upon his signing, Kolo Muani's playing time is reduced game after game, proof of a difficult adaptation within the Parisian squad.
According to information from Abdellah Boulmathe leaders of PSG have already made their decision: the departure of Kolo Muani is now considered for the winter transfer window. Aware of the complexity of the financial situation after his expensive recruitment, the club does not expect to receive an offer equivalent to its purchase price, but is studying exit alternatives, such as a dry loan or a loan with option purchase. The idea would be to find a viable solution to allow the player to restart while avoiding a depreciation of his value.
Luis Enrique, who had validated the arrival of Kolo Muani, today sees his choices challenged by the results and the cohesion of his group. The striker's performances did not have the expected impact, and the Spanish coach is now only giving him limited playing time.
Faced with this delicate context, PSG is banking on a loan to limit losses and give the 24-year-old striker another chance to prove his value elsewhere. A loan with an option to purchase could prove interesting for clubs looking for offensive reinforcements, offering financial flexibility without immediate commitment. For Kolo Muani, this would represent the opportunity to regain minutes and the confidence necessary to regain his best level.
This potential separation also shows the evolution of PSG's strategy, where the imperatives of performance leave little room for moods. As the club seeks to establish itself permanently in the European summits, the time is no longer for waiting. The managers therefore chose to favor the balance of the team by being uncompromising, even with recent recruits.
The future of Kolo Muani could thus take shape far from Paris as early as January. It remains to be seen which club will seize the opportunity to welcome the French international on loan, with the prospect of relaunching a talented player, but in search of stability.
