PSG ready to sell €90 million Borussia Dortmund-linked player
PSG are ready to sell their €90 million Borussia Dortmund-linked player following a disappointing recent performance, according to a report.
Randal Kolo Muani's future at Paris Saint-Germain is becoming increasingly uncertain following his substitution at half-time during their recent clash with OGC Nice.
The forward, brought in for a hefty €90 million in 2023, is reportedly considering a move away from the French capital, with the club also open to the idea of a winter sale.
For context, a few months ago, it was reported that Borussia Dortmund were interested in bringing Randal Kolo Muani back to the Bundesliga.
PSG’s head coach, Luis Enrique, made headlines with his decision to take Kolo Muani off at the break, replacing him with South Korean international Lee Kang-In.
Speaking after the match, which ended in a draw, Luis Enrique didn't shy away from his critique, stating, "At half-time, I could have easily made five changes. No problem. Five players could have come off, but I only made one, and that was it."
His comments were seen as a clear signal that Kolo Muani’s performance didn’t meet the standards expected at PSG.
Despite showing strong form for the French national team, Kolo Muani has struggled to replicate that impact at club level.

Since joining PSG, he has managed just 11 goals and six assists in 49 appearances, figures that fall short of expectations for a player of his calibre and price tag.
According to reports from L'Equipe (h/t Fichajes), the 24-year-old striker is now seriously contemplating a move in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Although he has had sporadic opportunities in the starting lineup, it’s clear he isn't a guaranteed fixture in Luis Enrique's tactical plans. This realisation appears to have prompted Kolo Muani to look for a club where he can play a more central role.
PSG’s management seems to be in agreement, not entirely opposed to letting the striker go if a suitable offer comes in.
However, they remain firm that any departure must be on financially favourable terms, especially considering the significant investment they made just over a year ago.
The club would likely seek to recoup much of their outlay to fund the search for a replacement forward who fits better into their long-term vision.
