Luis Enrique Reacts Bluntly to €30M-Rated Arsenal, Newcastle Target Missing From PSG Squad | OneFootball

With the January transfer window approaching, speculation about Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is gaining momentum, fueled by his limited playing time this season.

On Sunday, the French forward received another signal that he might not be in manager Luis Enrique’s plans, as he was left out of the group for PSG’s match against Olympique Lyonnais.

Kolo Muani has struggled to secure a consistent role as PSG’s lead striker, logging just 453 minutes across all competitions. This has sparked rumors of a potential January exit.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggests that PSG could let Kolo Muani go if an appealing offer arrives. However, there’s currently no concrete link to Manchester United, with no talks or negotiations underway.

At the same time, CaughtOffside reports that Arsenal are monitoring several attacking options, including Kolo Muani, Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Mateo Retegui, and Liam Delap.

PSG defeated Lyon 3-1, but after the match, the French media wanted to know why Enrique left the 2022 FIFA World Cup runner-up out of the squad.

“I can only call up 20 players,” Enrique said (h/t Diario AS). “I know I don’t speak French, but I couldn’t be clearer in Spanish. If someone doesn’t get it, that’s not my problem.”

Last month, Football Transfers reported that PSG are looking to loan out Kolo Muani during the January transfer window, with Newcastle and West Ham showing the most interest. Although there’s no official asking price, Transfermarkt values the forward at €30 million.
