This week, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that it could be a one-and-done season for Randal Kolo Muani at Paris Saint-Germain. Last summer, PSG paid €95 million for the 25-year-old, but this season didn’t go as planned.
Kolo Muani only had six goals in Ligue 1 and one goal in the UEFA Champions League, so the player hasn’t lived up to the transfer fee. As a result, the Parisians could look to recoup some of the money invested.
Journalist Ben Jacobs provided an update on this file and notes that the capital club could let the forward leave if an enticing offer comes this summer.
“I think Kolo Muani is the most interesting one,” Jacobs said. “PSG like Gonçalo Ramos, PSG intend to keep Ramos. But with Kolo Muani, there’s a feeling Kolo Muani wants more opportunities.
“So if the right offer comes in for Kolo Muani that suits all parties, it might fall into the [Manuel] Ugarte category where PSG would consider selling him (at the right price). The club really don’t want to lose Kolo Muani but he may want more opportunities, may feel he falls further down more in the pecking order when a striker is signed.”

The report from Di Marzio reveals that Atlético de Madrid has added Randal Kolo Muani’s name to their short-list for this summer – in case Álvaro Morata leaves to join AC Milan. Moreover, Kolo Muani’s exit could push PSG to move for Napoli standout Victor Osimhen this summer.
