Absolute escalation in the exchange Zoff around Randal Kolo Muani (24)!
Eintracht’s striker is boycotting the final training session ahead of the Conference League play-off second leg against Levski Sofia (Thursday, 8:30 p.m.) on Wednesday because he absolutely wants to move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Now Kolo Muani is on strike!
Sport board member Markus Krösche (42) in a statement from the club: “We got to know Randal differently and know about his actual character. A lot is currently pouring down on him and this is the result of this reaction, which is wrong, which we have made clear to him and those around him and all the effects. We will play the game against Levski Sofia without him. For us it is clear: the behavior has no influence on transfer activities.
Oh what! Forgotten world champion before million change
Eintracht will also remove Kolo Muani from the squad for Thursday’s game.
It’s the next escalation level! On Tuesday evening, Kolo Muani had already given TV broadcaster “Sky” an interview that Eintracht had not authorized in order to force his move to Paris.
Kolo Muani: “I always gave everything for the club until the end. But it’s no secret that Paris Saint-Germain made a record offer for me. A move to Paris is now a unique opportunity for me. I would like to move to Paris and have also informed those responsible. I hope and wish that Eintracht will accept the offer from Paris and that this change will now be made possible for me.”
But the fronts in poker between Eintracht and Paris are extremely hardened shortly before the transfer window closes on Friday. PSG’s offers are miles away from the requested €100m fee.
Brazen: According to BILD information, unlike what was recently reported in France, Paris is currently only offering 70 million and Hugo Ekitiké (21) at a “discounted” price of 30 million plus 5 million bonuses. According to transfermarkt.de, the striker is only worth 20 million. It is logical that Eintracht does not get involved and does not allow itself to be put under pressure. It is more and more doubtful that an agreement will be reached in the coming hours.
By the way: After the news of Kolo Muani’s strike, Eintracht’s cult coach Dragoslav “Stepi” Stepanovic immediately contacted BILD on his 75th birthday: “He should be ashamed. Before moving to Eintracht, he was neither a national player nor did anyone in France know him!”
