Paris Saint-Germain is looking to find a quick solution to a problem related to one of its expensive deals in the upcoming winter transfer market, as it seems that the player in question has not been able to meet the high expectations set for him.
Despite the large investment in signing him, this player has not been able to secure a place in the team’s starting lineup, which has led the management to consider the possibility of parting ways with him as soon as possible.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, Paris Saint-Germain is eager to offload player Randal Kolo Muani next January, after he failed to meet expectations under coach Luis Enrique.
Despite the substantial investment in Kolo Muani’s signing, which was made at the request of his close friend Kylian Mbappe, the player has not lived up to expectations and has remained out of the starting lineup.
In a surprising move, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain, proposed an exchange deal to Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, that would see French striker Randal Kolo Muani join Barcelona in exchange for Robert Lewandowski’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Al-Khelaifi views this deal as an opportunity for both clubs to adjust their current situations and strengthen their attacking lines. After reviewing the offer, Laporta agreed to the deal, emphasizing that Barcelona would be the biggest winner, especially considering Lewandowski’s noticeable decline in form.
Kolo Muani, who has not achieved the expected success with Paris Saint-Germain since his arrival, is seen as a young player with tremendous attacking potential. It is believed that a move to Barcelona will provide an opportunity to develop him in a new environment. Al-Khelaifi, fully aware that the French player has yet to meet expectations in Paris, believes that his transfer to Barcelona would be a positive step for all parties involved.
On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski is experiencing a clear decline in his form this season. He started strongly but has lost his brilliance in recent weeks, making the possibility of his departure more likely. It is believed that Paris Saint-Germain could be an ideal destination for the Polish player, who has extensive experience that could benefit the Parisian team in European competitions.
Joan Laporta believes Barcelona will be the biggest beneficiary. The signing of Kolo Muani, 26, would provide the Catalan team with a young player capable of adding depth to their attack for the future.
The deal would also help rejuvenate the attacking options in light of Lewandowski’s decline, which has weighed heavily on the team recently.
Additionally, Laporta believes this deal will contribute to achieving financial balance for the club, as Lewandowski’s departure would ease Barcelona’s financial burden, allowing the club to move more freely in the market.
