Kolo Muani’s Quest to Secure His Place at PSG Despite Challenges
One year after his signing with Paris Saint-Germain, Randal Kolo Muani has yet to secure a permanent spot in the starting lineup of his beloved club. The Bondy native hasn’t quite convinced coach Luis Enrique of his capabilities on the pitch. However, the French international appears to have a clear plan to turn things around. Here’s what we know.
Luis Enrique’s Arrival and Squad Changes
Luis Enrique officially took charge at Campus PSG on July 5, 2023. During that summer transfer window, the Paris Saint-Germain hierarchy brought in twelve new players, including the return of Xavi Simons. However, one player who hasn’t impressed the Spanish manager is Randal Kolo Muani. The French international was acquired for approximately €90 million from Eintracht Frankfurt, but he doesn’t fit into Enrique’s preferred profile.
Kolo Muani’s Confidence with the National Team
Despite his challenges at PSG, Kolo Muani has shown his prowess with the national team. He made an appearance on the opening day of the season against Le Havre on August 16, following a serious ankle injury to Gonçalo Ramos. However, he has not started in the subsequent two Ligue 1 matches. This is particularly intriguing given that Luis Enrique acknowledged on DAZN at the Stade Océane in mid-August that Kolo Muani is “one of the best French strikers.” With Didier Deschamps backing him in the national squad, Kolo Muani seems determined to change the course of his journey at Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports from Le Parisien.
Kolo Muani’s Strategy for Redemption
Randal Kolo Muani is aware that he has a long way to go and understands he currently ranks lower in the attacking hierarchy at PSG. Recently, Marco Asensio has been utilized as a false nine alongside Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. Nonetheless, Kolo Muani’s goal is to replicate the freedom he experiences while playing for the national team at Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by Le Parisien. Over time, this approach may lead the PSG coach to reconsider the value of the French international.
