Randal Kolo Muani, the French forward playing for Eintracht Frankfurt, was absent from training on Wednesday as he tries to secure a move to Paris Saint-Germain. This decision was confirmed by the German club, citing Kolo Muani’s desire to transfer before the window closes on Friday. As a result, he will not participate in Thursday’s Europa Conference League qualifier against Levski Sofia, despite scoring in the first leg.
Frankfurt’s sporting director Markus Kroesche emphasized that Kolo Muani’s behavior does not impact transfer negotiations, as they are holding out for a bid of 100 million euros from PSG. The forward’s contract with Frankfurt runs until 2027, and he made a significant impact in his first season with the club, scoring 23 goals and providing 17 assists in 46 matches after joining from Nantes in 2022.
Having expressed his wish to move to Paris, Kolo Muani’s absence from training underscores his determination to secure the transfer. Despite his success at Frankfurt and his commitment to the club, he is intent on making the switch to PSG. The situation highlights the complexities of player transfers and the challenges faced by clubs in managing such requests.
