Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the renowned French football club, has made a significant addition to their attacking lineup by acquiring talented striker Randall Colo Mouani (25) from Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga. Mouani will now partner with ‘Golden Talent’ Lee Kang-in (22) in the team’s forward line.
In an official announcement, PSG revealed that they have signed the French national striker to a five-year contract, extending until 2028. Mouani will wear the number 23 jersey for the club.
Mouani, who was one of the leading scorers in the German Bundesliga, displayed exceptional performance as Frankfurt’s key player, netting 15 goals and providing 14 assists in 32 league games last season. He also scored the winning goal in the opening match of the current season, leading Frankfurt to a 1-0 victory against Darmstadt. In the 2021-2022 season, Mouani recorded 12 goals and 5 assists while playing for Nantes in France. His consistency in delivering notable performances highlights his strength as a player.
In addition to his goal-scoring ability, Mouani also possesses other valuable attributes such as strong attacking power, a height of 187 cm, and impressive speed, enabling him to play in central and lateral positions.
With the addition of Mouani, PSG now boasts a formidable attacking trio alongside the French national team’s Kylian Mbappe and the recently recruited Ousmane Dembele, who displayed exceptional skills at Barcelona during this summer’s transfer window. This latest addition further strengthens PSG’s attacking prowess.
Last season, PSG relied heavily on star players like Lionel Messi and Neymar for their attacking force. However, as they have now departed, the team has undergone substantial changes by bringing in several French players, radically transforming their attacking lineup.
The arrival of Mouani raises questions about the situation of Lee Kang-in, who joined PSG this summer after leaving Mallorca in Spain. Lee, who has impressed with his performances thus far, has started in the first two league matches, operating as a side striker. In the opening game against Lorient, Lee showcased his skills through 3 shots, resulting in an 88% passing success rate and a 67% dribbling success rate. His performance earned him the recognition of being ‘The Player’ according to the League 1 Secretariat, with his efforts hailed as commendable given the shoes he had to fill as an alternative to Messi.
However, PSG’s attacking options have become saturated with the presence of Mbappe, Dembele, Carlos Soler, and Marco Asensio, who can all operate as wingers. While Mouani isn’t a specialized winger, he has experience playing in that role when needed. This opens up the possibility for Lee Kang-in to drop deeper and take on a midfield position.
Even before the arrival of Mouani, speculations suggested that Lee Kang-in could play a crucial role in Luis Enrique’s team’s training system if the summer transfer market concluded without PSG recruiting a creative midfielder. Several sources, including French PSG Talk and Le Quipe, highlighted Lee Kang-in’s potential to be deployed as a midfielder.
Lee Kang-in is no stranger to versatility, having played in multiple positions throughout his career. During his time as a winger in his former team, Mallorca, he demonstrated excellent ball control and playmaking abilities. His previous season with Mallorca saw him make 36 appearances, registering 6 goals and 6 assists. He not only scored the second-highest number of goals for the team but also contributed the most assists. Adding his skills to the French triangle in PSG’s lineup only amplifies the team’s attacking potential.

Muani plans to work with ‘Golden Talent’ Lee Kang-in (22).
PSG announced on the 2nd (Korean time), “We have signed Mouani, the French national striker who played for Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga.” The period of the contract is 5 years and will be active until 2028. Number 23 was given to him.
Muani was one of the leading strikers in the German Bundesliga. Playing as Frankfurt’s core, he scored 15 goals and 14 assists in 32 league games last season. Muani also scored the winning goal in the opening match of the 2023-2024 season league hosted by Darmstadt on the 21st of last month, leading the team to a 1-0 victory. Muani also played an active role with 12 goals and 5 assists in the 2021-2022 season, when he was a former member of Nantes (France). Consistency is strength.
In addition, muani has many advantages. He has excellent attacking power, is 187 cm tall, and has good speed, so he can play central and lateral positions.
As a result, PSG can only make a powerful top three with the French national team. Team ace Kylian Mbappe remained in the team despite rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid (Spain), and Ousmane Dembele, who played an active role in Barcelona (Spain) this summer, was recruited. Muani was added to build a powerful attacking team.
Last season, PSG led the attack with stars like Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Neymar (Al Hilal). They let them go and recruited a lot of French players. PSG’s attacking team has changed dramatically.
With Muani coming in, there is a possibility that Lee Kang-in’s situation will change. Lee Kang-in moved from Mallorca (Spain) to PSG this summer. He plays as a starter beating world class players. I played 2 league games, both as a side striker. In the league opener against Lorient, he started as a right-sided striker and in the second round match against Toulouse as a left-sided striker.

At that time, Lee Kang-in could not harvest attacking points, but recorded an 88% passing success rate and a 67% dribbling success rate, including 3 shots. Lee Kang-in was also selected as ‘The Player’ by the League 1 Secretariat. League 1 praised, “Lee Kang-in did a great job in place of Messi.”
However, the current PSG attacking side is saturated. Ace Mbappe, ‘freshman’ Dembele, Carlos Soler, and Marco Asensio can play on the flank. Muani is not a specialist winger, but he has experience as a right winger when the team needs him. Instead, Lee Kang-in can come down and take over as a midfielder.

Previously, French PSG Talk, which mainly deals with PSG news, said, “If the transfer market ends this summer, Lee Kang-in can play an important role in the training system of Luis Enrique’s team. If not is PSG recruiting a creative midfielder, the position will go to Lee Kang-in. that” he analyzed. France’s Le Quipe also explained, “Lee Kang-in can be a midfield option.”
It is also a familiar situation for Lee Kang-in. For a long time, he provided opportunities by going back and forth between the center and the side. When he was a winger in his former team Mallorca, he took on the role of holding the ball and solving the game. Lee Kang-in played 36 games for Primemari last season, leaving a report card of 6 goals and 6 assists. He scored the second most goals for Mallorca and also recorded the most assists in the team. If you run with the French triangle, you can use even more power.
