The player in question is Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt.
Muani joined Frankfurt last summer and the striker has gone on to have a very impressive debut season in Germany.
He has scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists in 29 outings across all competitions so far this season.
And now, Christian Falk has suggested that Muani could be available this summer for around €100m, with Chelsea and Manchester United among those interested:
“Before, there was a clear shared idea held between Frankfurt and Randal Kolo Muani’s agency that he’d be best-suited to stay one year more until 2024,” Christian Falk revealed in his latest column for CaughtOffside.
“But now this situation has changed. He’s got a new agent having switched from MDC to Moussa Sissoko (who’s quite famous in Germany for having arranged the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé). Everyone knows what will happen, I’m not sure that Muani will strike to force a move but they’re really pushing for a transfer and Frankfurt is aware of it.
“So, the market for Muani is open and many clubs are certainly interested in the striker. Bayern Munich are still out of the race – they profiled him and decided he didn’t fit their possession-based system – but he could be better suited for sides like Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United. “I’m not sure if Liverpool have the money for Muani, United are doing a lot of strange things with strikers at the moment and Chelsea keep reinforcing their midfield.
“When you see what Bayern Munich are doing on the market, they’re always plugging specific gaps in their squad. Chelsea aren’t doing that and they need a striker; perhaps Muani is the solution.”
