French professional soccer club PSG announced on its website on the 2nd (Korean time) that it has signed Kolo Moani to a five-year contract, with the number 23 on his shirt.
According to German media outlet Kicker, the transfer fee paid by PSG to Frankfurt (Bundesliga) is estimated to be around 95 million euros ($135.2 million).
PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: "We are delighted to have been able to bring in Kolo Moani, a French international and a native of Paris. He is back in his city," said PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Kolo Moani, for his part, told the club: "I'm happy to be back at the beginning again. I was attracted by PSG's plans."
It's a welcome signing for PSG, whose forward line has been creaking at the start of the new season.
It's only been three games, but PSG is already feeling the loss of key players like Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Neymar (Al-Hilal).
They're not exactly living up to their Ligue 1 title, sitting in eighth place with one win and two draws.
Kolo Moani, born in 1998, scored 15 goals in 32 Bundesliga games last season and was a member of France's runner-up squad at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
With the signing of attack-minded winger Ousmane Dembele this summer, PSG has created a "France lineup" of Dembele and Kolo Moani, with Kylian Mbappe as the centerpiece.
The arrival of Dembele and striker Kolo Moani meant that Lee Kang-in would be more likely to play in the midfield than as a striker.
As he is more known for his intricate passing and dribbling than his cool shooting, Lee can also play as an attacking midfielder to support a more advanced attacking lineup.
If Luis Enrique employs this tactic, we can expect to see Lee's penetrating passes linking up with Mbappe and Kolo Moani as they run at the back of the defense.
Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in, who injured his left quadriceps, is expected to rest and receive treatment until mid-September. 토토사이트
