Challenging Beginnings and the Weight of €95 Million: Kolo Muani’s Candid Revelations

Randal Kolo Muani was a guest on “Rothen S’Enflamme” on RMC Monday night, where he opened up about his challenging start at PSG.

Randal Kolo Muani is living out a childhood dream by signing with PSG. He readily admits it, but at the moment, this dream has had its share of obstacles. A meager goal tally and the difficulty of finding his place as a center-forward in a system with four attackers have added to the challenge. “It’s true that the first few months were very complicated,” acknowledged the former Eintracht Frankfurt player on RMC. “I wasn’t fully settled, and I was digesting my transfer. There were high expectations surrounding me, given the transfer fee and all that… There was a lot of pressure, but it’s starting to ease up a bit now. I’m getting back to ‘playing my football’ and enjoying the game, which is the most important thing.”

“My first goal against OM (4-0 on September 24th)? It really relieved me, and it felt great. There’s also the one against Milan (3-0 on October 25th), which did me good. It’s essential for a forward to score and have confidence to enjoy the game on the field,” Kolo Muani explained.

Kolo Muani was acquired by PSG for €95 million, which adds a certain level of pressure. “I know that people judge me based on the transfer fee,” he admitted. “It does put pressure on me because I have to prove that I’m worth that amount. But I shouldn’t be concerned about that. It’s up to me to play my football and not worry about people saying, ‘you’re worth this much.'”
