A year ago, Randal Kolo Muani was the symbol of the Parisian transfer window errors. Bought 95 million euros, put in the closet by Luis Enrique and sent on loan to Juventus to degrease a wage bill that has become unmanageable. A school case. We know the song: an overly expensive player, a seller club that cannot sell off, a future that is written in dotted lines. But football has this ability to overthrow everything. His visit to Turin was rather successful and here he is again on the stage.
The Premier League enters the dance for Kolo Muani
The Kolo Muani soap opera has just taken a new turn. According to information from foot transfer window, two English heavyweights have entered the race: Manchester United and Newcastle. The Red Devils, after having suffered the refusal of Hugo Ekitike, see him the ideal profile for their attack. For their part, the Magpies anticipate a possible departure from their scorer Alexander Isak and have taken concrete information. The interest of these two clubs completely changes the situation. It is no longer just Juventus which is on the spot, but the financial power of the Premier League.
For PSG, it is both good and bad news. A good, because the competition could raise the auctions and allow the club to recover part of its colossal investment. A bad, because that complicates negotiations with Juventus, which undoubtedly hoped for a new advantageous loan. Paris is facing a dilemma: selling quickly to finance your own transfer window, or wait for the best possible offer?
Manchester United and Newcastle relaunch the Kolo Muani file
PSG, a big winner or large loser?
This renewed interest in the French international is a validation of his talent, but also a cruel reminder of the failure of his visit to Paris. How did a player such efficient Juventus fail to impose himself under the orders of Luis Enrique? The question remains whole. PSG finds itself today in the position of a club that could make a nice sale, but for a player he could not exploit.
The outcome of the Kolo Muani file will be a strong marker of the Parisian strategy. Will the club favor the financial aspect or try to find a solution that could ultimately allow a return to grace? For the moment, the balance clearly leans towards a final departure. The 26 -year -old striker is in a position of strength. After touching the bottom, he knew how to bounce back and now embarrassment of choice. The Parisian loft will soon be a bad memory.
