This is one of the most important transfers of the 2023 summer transfer window. After a long series, Paris Saint-Germain secured the services of Randal Kolo Muani in the very last minutes of the transfer window. The international left Eintracht Frankfurt after one season.
Although the German club did not find a replacement, the leaders still agreed to release their player on the last day at the request of the Parisian club and the striker of the French team so that the deal is done.
All the media announced a transfer of 90 million euros with bonus included (75 million euros + 15 million bonus). But in reality, the amount revealed was not the right one.
In a video broadcast by the Professional Football League on YouTube which shows behind the scenes of the last day of the summer transfer window, we hear that the price of the transaction between the two clubs would be 80 million euros plus 5 million bonuses.
A sum slightly lower than what was announced by all French and foreign media.

Difficult beginnings for Randal Kolo Muani
Paris Saint-Germain absolutely wanted to bring Randal Kolo Muani into their squad. The 24-year-old striker is one of Nasser al-Khelaifi’s priorities this summer. However, the French striker is having a difficult start in the red and blue jersey.
Despite a resounding performance against Olympique de Marseille where he found the net for the first time and delivered an assist for Gonçalo Ramos, the Frenchman has not yet managed to be consistent and decisive.
Like his performances against Clermont during the previous day of Ligue 1 but especially during the debacle against Newcastle in the Champions League (4-1 defeat). However, now is not the time for doubts and panic. The former Nantes player has mentality and should raise his level of play during his next outings.
