It wasn't for discipline, the real reason why PSG punished Lionel Messi is revealed

Lionel Messi was suspended by PSG and will miss the team's next two matches in Ligue 1. Although Leo should be available for the last three rounds, L'Equipe left open the possibility that the Argentina captain might not return to wear the Parisian jersey.

In this context, the board of directors began to move and would have already enlisted 80 million euros to sign Messi's replacement. The player in question? Randal Kolo Muani. Luis Campos's idea is to hire the current Eintracht Frankfurt striker to form a dynamic attacking duo alongside Kylian Mbappé, but he won't have it easy.

Although the PSG project is attractive, the French have two strong competitors in the race for Kolo Muani: Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Now, in case the Parisians manage to get hold of the signing of Randal, they will have the peace of mind that the 24-year-old footballer already knows what it is to play in Ligue 1 taking into account that he had a successful spell in Nantes.

The day Kolo Muani almost became Messi's executioner

Lionel suffered one of his greatest frustrations at the national team level in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when he fell narrowly in the final at the hands of Germany. In Qatar 2022 he managed to get revenge and win the long-awaited World Cup over France on penalties. However, Kolo Muani had the chance to spoil the party in the last play of extra time, but a saving foot from 'Dibu' Martínez drowned out his goal cry.
