CM: Maldini and Massara left to reflect after choosing Origi over Frankfurt star

AC Milan decided to walk away from a deal to sign Randal Kolo Muani last year and they may now regret it, according to a report.

Calciomercato.com recall how Kolo Muani had an excellent World Cup, first leading France to the final with a goal against Morocco to make it 2-0, then he led the comeback against Argentina with Kylian Mbappe and only a great Emiliano Martinez save denied him eternal glory in the last second of extra-time.

The 24-year-old is a powerful and fast striker, strong in the air but also with the ball on the ground, characteristics that Milan certainly needed going into last season and the management noticed his qualities.

About a year ago Maldini and Massara moved for Kolo Muani, attracted by the possibility of signing such a talented player on a free transfer considering the difficulties in the negotiation with FC Nantes over the renewal of his contract.

After a series of reflections, Milan decided to focus on another free transfer – Divock Origi – because he had more experience in the Champions League. Kolo Muani was disappointed but immediately disposed of it by joining Eintracht Frankfurt, and now there might be some regret given he has 14 goal contributions in 14 Bundesliga games for them this season.
