Paris Saint-Germain complete £77 million signing of Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt

Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee believed to be around £77 million.

The transfer for the French international had oscillated between agreed at some points in the day and apparently off at other times.

There were suggestions that Hugo Ekitike’s presence at the club was preventing Luis Erique’s side from completing a deal for the forward, but the 21-year-old appears set to remain at the Parc des Princes despite rumours of interest from Crystal Palace.

Ultimately that did not prevent PSG from completing a deal for Kolo Muani.

Kolo Muani has been one of the most impressive strikers in the Bundesliga and has scored 26 goals in 50 appearances for the Bundesliga side after joining Eintracht Frankfurt from Nantes.

His performances for the German side, and the French national team during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, had attracted attention from several top European clubs, including Manchester United.

PSG have seen Neymar and Lionel Messi move on, though Kylian Mbappe remained despite being made available for transfer after telling the club that he wanted to leave.

Ousmane Dembele, Manuel Ugarte, Milan Skrinier, Xavi Simons, Lee Kang-in Lucas Hernandez, Marco Asesni, and Cher Ndour were signed, while Mauro Icardi, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Junior Dina Ebimbe, Sergio Ramos, Leandro Paredes and Renato Sanches have left.
