Eintracht Frankfurt’s top moeller: “No leaps in the air” after Kolo Muani’s departure to PSG

Missing replacement “Challenge”

The departure of top striker Randal Kolo Muani to Paris Saint-Germain has caused disappointment for Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller. “If you lose a 95 million player and there is no new player coming in, it’s unfortunate for any coach. I didn’t jump in the air,” said the 42-year-old on Sunday after the 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga home game against 1. FC Köln on the “DAZN” streaming service. He was “of course a little kinked,” admitted Toppmöller.

Shortly before the end of the transfer period, both clubs had reached an agreement late on Friday evening to transfer the 24-year-old French international for €95m. “It was an insane act. Economically, it was a no-brainer,” emphasized Toppmöller. With this sum, Kolo Muani is not only the most expensive exit in SBU history, but also the third most expensive sale in the history of the Bundesliga.

Without Kolo Muani, the Hessians averted the first defeat of the season in the Bundesliga against Cologne with difficulty. “It’s a fact that a striker is missing. It will be a big challenge for all of us,” said Toppmöller, looking ahead to the season. In addition to Kolo Muani, the SBU also lost a second attacker on Deadline Day in Rafael Borré, who had been loaned out to Werder Bremen. For a new man in the storm, the “Adlerträger” could now only fall back on a currently clubless professional or wait until the next transfer window in January.
