FootballRandal Kolo Muani: PSG Closing In on Neymar’s Replacement
- Paris Saint-Germain are looking to replace Neymar, who recently joined Al-Hilal
- The French champions have identified Randal Kolo Muani as the ideal replacement
- Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly want €100 million for the French international
Days after completing the sale of Neymar to Al-Hilal, Paris Saint-Germain are looking to replace the Brazilian with France international Randal Kolo Muani.
The Eintracht Frankfurt striker was a target for top European clubs like Manchester United this summer, but it looks like PSG have won the race to sign the Frenchman.
The Bundesliga side reportedly want €100 million for the striker, who had a phenomenal 2022/23 season. He scored 23 goals and provided 14 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions, per Transfermarkt.
Considering he is still under contract with the German club until 2027, they would want to keep him for at least another season, but playing alongside MKylian Mbappe is an opportunity few will turn down.
According to RMC's Fabrice Hawkins, the 24-year-old has agreed personal terms on a five-year deal with the French giants. He previously made it clear that he wants to win trophies, and PSG is a team that will certainly offer him that.
He isn't Neymar, but his stats show that he can be a reliable scorer and creator. If he signs for PSG, he will have to compete for a spot up top with Goncalo Ramos, who joined from Benfica.
Kolo Muani sets 'impossible' record
Randal Kolo Muani became the first player to reach double figures for assists in just 15 appearances in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Kolo Muani completed the incredible feat in Frankfurt's comprehensive 3-0 victory over Schalke following the return of the German top-flight after the World Cup break.
Despite not getting his name on the scoresheet, the 24-year-old former Nantes striker was the star of the show, setting a new record in the German elite division.
