Paris Saint-Germainhave struggled to score goals in the UEFA Champions League, and manager Luis Enrique has not counted on Randal Kolo Muani. At some point, the capital club needs to pursue a No. 9 to challenge Gonçalo Ramos.
So far, Kolo Muani has clocked just 425 minutes across all competitions, struggling to establish himself as a regular in PSG’s starting lineup. Enrique hasn’t relied on him as the first-choice No. 9, fueling rumors that the striker could leave in January.
Ramos returned from injury this week with his appearance off the bench against Bayern Munich. Nonetheless, whether it’s in the January window or next summer, the Ligue 1 side must find a striker that fits what Enrique wants from that position.
Will PSG head to Turkey for a No. 9?
