EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's Julien Laurens on interest from the Premier League in Randal Kolo Muani.
Looking at PSG's last five games in all competitions, it is obvious that manager Luis Enrique doesn't trust Randal Kolo Muani. The forward was given 24 minutes at Angers, 17 and 9 against Atletico Madrid and PSV, then left on the bench for the wins over Lens and Marseille. Signed for €80m from Eintracht Frankfurt just 18 months ago, the France international has only started two games out of 15, for a total of 436 minutes and two goals.
Luis Enrique clearly doesn't consider him good enough technically, or intelligent enough to play in his fluid system. And with the return of Gonçalo Ramos from injury, Kolo Muani will soon drop even lower in the pecking order.
I'm sure the 25-year-old would love to change his manager's mind and try to succeed in his hometown, but he needs to move in January or he risks losing his place with the national team. PSG would want a transfer fee of around €50m-€60m for him, but are likely to accept a loan so he can prove his worth again as no team will want to pay that now given his form.
For Frankfurt (23 goals and 14 assists in 2022-23) and France (seven goals and two assists in 2024) he has shown what he can do. But he needs to play in a counter-attacking team who are good in transition. A return to the Bundesliga makes sense, but his dream is to play in the Premier League and he would fit very well there. Manchester United have yet to show an interested, despite reports, a source told ESPN. However, West Ham, Fulham and Everton are monitoring his situation.
