The 24-year-old French international striker skipped training this Wednesday, on the eve of the Europa League return play-off against Levski Sofia. The German club have confirmed the news. According to RMC, Kolo Muani is disappointed by broken promises from Frankfurt. On Tuesday, the vice-world champion spoke to put pressure on his club and facilitate his transfer to PSG. The French champion would offer 65 or 70 M€ excluding bonus plus his center forward Hugo Ekitike (21 years old). But the latter also has touches in England.
After his training strike in Frankfurt, Randal Kolo Muani flat out folded the saplings. As revealed by L’Équipe and RMC Sport, the 24-year-old French striker was in Paris yesterday, hoping to sign for PSG before the end of the transfer window on Friday evening.
PSG go on the attack for Bradley Barcola. After flirting with the young (20-year-old) Lyon striker for several weeks, the capital club has drawn a first offer of more than €40 million, according to Le Parisien. At the end of the day on Wednesday, L’Equipe announced an agreement for 50M € bonus included. Under contract until 2026 at OL, Barcola signed a dazzling second half of the season in 2022-23, with 7 goals and 10 assists. Enough to attract the attention of the champion of France.
What if Lorient pulls off one of the big shots of this end of transfer window? According to Foot Mercato, Les Merlus have contacted Manchester United over Dutch midfielder and international Donny van de Beek. Recruited for € 39 million from Ajax Amsterdam in 2020, Van de Beek has never won with the Red Devils and still risks polishing the bench there. Foot Mercato speaks of an “agreement on the main lines” between Lorient and Manchester for a loan. But other teams of a higher standard could overtake the Morbihan club. Moreover, Fabrizio Romano suggests that the former Ajax player did not negotiate with the Hakes, any more than with Genoa. FC Lorient would also consider the tricolor international Tiémoué Bakayoko, free, according to RMC. Van de Beek, 26, played just 10 games last season, hampered by injuries.
