PSG adds millions of euros
Crazy turn in the transfer hiccup around Kolo Muani

The deal has actually already burst, the transfer window in Germany is closed, but Paris St. Germain is not giving up and is adding millions of euros. With success: Randal Kolo Muani will apparently play in his home country France in the future. Eintracht Frankfurt can no longer compensate for his departure.
Crazy turn in the transfer theater around Eintracht Frankfurt’s star striker Randal Kolo Muani: According to consistent media reports, the 24-year-old attacker, who went on a training strike with the Bundesliga soccer club, is now moving back to his homeland to the French record champions Paris Saint-Germain, Eintracht Frankfurt reports.
After the deal had actually burst in the afternoon, PSG increased its previous offer of around 90 million euros again in the evening and was apparently successful with the offer. While the transfer period in the Bundesliga ended at 6 p.m. on Friday, the transfer window in France only ends at 11 p.m.
According to media information, Paris is transferring 95 million euros for Kolo Muani, whose contract with Hessen ran until 2027. In Paris he is said to have signed a contract until 2028. The runner-up went on a training strike on Wednesday to force the change and also missed Thursday’s successful playoff second leg in the Conference League against Levski Sofia (2-0).
For Frankfurt, Kolo Muani was a sporting and economic transfer hit. The striker, who came on a free transfer from FC Nantes in 2022, was not only the third-best scorer with 15 goals in his first and last Bundesliga season, but also the striker with the most scorer points with a further 16 assists. Now Eintracht can also look forward to a record income.
However, Frankfurt now has no replacement for Kolo Muani in store. Since the transfer window in Germany was already closed when the move was decided, Eintracht could no longer sign anyone. A planned exchange with Parisian Hugo Ekitiké had previously been rejected because the overall package of salary and transfer fee was ultimately far too expensive for the Bundesliga club.
