Eager to part ways with Randal Kolo Muani during the next winter transfer window, PSG could take advantage of the French striker's current popularity to make a splash on the transfer market. Explanations.
Mercato: Kolo Muani leaving? PSG open to a loan this winter
PSG seems to want to keep Randal Kolo Muani, but does not rule out a departure this winter. The French striker's limited playing time and Luis Enrique's lack of confidence in him as a starter have put his future at the club in question. According to the newspaper Le Parisien, a six-month loan without purchase option could be considered in order to restore visibility to the former Eintracht Frankfurt player.
Despite his sensational arrival for 95 million euros in the summer of 2023, the market value of Randal Kolo Muani has fallen considerably, dropping to around 40 million euros, according to the specialist site Transfermarkt. Nevertheless, his performances in the national team and his undeniable potential continue to attract the attention of major European clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus Turin.
A loan this winter could therefore be an advantageous solution for all stakeholders: Kolo Muani would regain playing time, Paris Saint-Germain would recover part of its investment and interested clubs could strengthen their attack without taking any significant financial risk. But according to the latest news, Parisian leaders could also consider another very original option.
Dramatic twist: A Rashford-Kolo Muani exchange could shake up the transfer window!
Despite a contract running until June 2028, Marcus Rashford is not certain of staying at Manchester United next summer. The England international, although highly appreciated internally at the Red Devils, is having difficulty regaining his former form. For his part, Randal Kolo Muani, less used by Luis Enrique, is of great interest to the English club. Which makes the Spanish site El Futbolero say that the two clubs could consider an exchange between the two attackers.
This track seems attractive on paper, with both players being under contract and having a similar profile. However, several obstacles remain to be overcome. Marcus Rashford will have to agree to leave the Premier League to join Ligue 1, while Randal Kolo Muani will have to convince Mancunian supporters of his potential. So to be continued…
