September 1, (THEWILL) – Paris Saint-Germain were hoping to complete a move for France striker, Randal Kolo Muani, from Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday, in what would be the biggest deal to go through on transfer deadline day in Europe.
The 24-year-old forward, who comes from the Paris suburbs, has been a target for PSG all summer and is eager to join the French champions. He missed training with Frankfurt this week, with the German side confirming “his wish to be transferred to another club before the transfer window ends on Friday evening”.
Kolo Muani, who signed for the Bundesliga club from Nantes only a year ago, played no part in Eintracht’s 2-0 home win over Bulgarian side Levski Sofia on Thursday, which saw them seal a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage.
However, up until Friday morning, Frankfurt had rejected PSG’s proposals for a player who is under contract at his present club until 2027.
It is understood that the Ligue 1 side have attempted to offer their out-of-favour forward, Hugo Ekitike, to Eintracht as part of any deal, as they look to team Kolo Muani up with fellow French internationals Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele in their attack. It is a deal that may still go through before the deadline.
