Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) plans to clean up Randal Kolo Muani in the transfer market this winter.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 15th (Korea time) that `Colo Moani and Milan Shkriniar are in the same situation. The two players could leave PSG in the January transfer window. Both players were excluded from the PSG squad. This is a decision made by PSG coach Luis Enrique..."
In the end, PSG made a decision. It is expected to clear up Colomuani and recruit other strikers. In less than two seasons, he admitted that Colomuani had failed to recruit him.
Colomuani left Frankroute for PSG ahead of the 2023-2024 season. I had high expectations. This is because the stage where Colomoisi stood out was French Ligue 1. Colomuani, who moved to Frankfurt after showing outstanding potential at FC Nantes, attracted the attention of big clubs when he was in full bloom in the German Bundesliga.
However, there was a possibility that the transfer could fail due to the too high transfer fee set by Frankfurt. At that time, PSG decided to buy Colomuani for 95 million euros (about 143.5 billion won). PSG, which did not have a clear No. 9 striker, signed Gonzalo Hamus and Colomuani at the same time.
Colomuani's sharpness shown in Frankfurt was not implemented at PSG. Last season, Colomuani played 37 games, scoring nine goals and five assists. It's been the worst year since the 2020-2021 season when Nantes showed promise.
There was also an excuse that the first season was an adjustment period, but it is even more serious this season. There are only two goals and one assist in 14 games. Most of the games are played as substitutes.
Colomuani is now a practically excluded player from the striker position. Coach Enrique wanted to use Hamus, but when Hamus was out of power due to a fracture, he used a zero-top tactic. Because I didn't trust Colou Mouani. Marco Asensio and Lee Kang-in competed, and Lee Kang-in took the lead as he showed good performance.
At that time, Colomuani often replaced, but failed to provide an opportunity for a reversal. Originally, Colomuani was a player with various advantages such as speed, dribbling, movement, and linked play, but he has never shown such advantages properly at PSG. In the end, PSG decided to sell Colomuani in less than two seasons. He is the third-highest transfer fee in the club's history, but it is expected to be very difficult to recover the principal.
Colomuani has already been rumored to be a transfer since the beginning of the season. It has been connected to several clubs, including Manchester United. But last November, Colomuani said "I never thought about a transfer. I will keep trying, show what I can do, and do my best"I rejected the transfer theory, but now I have to decide on my next destination so I can play."
