Manchester United and Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the race to sign Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani this summer. The 24-year-old enjoyed an outstanding 2022/23 campaign, scoring 23 goals in 45 games across all competitions and recording the most assists in the Bundesliga with 14. He was named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season and helped France reach the World Cup final in Qatar, scoring in the semi-final against Morocco. However, Frankfurt are desperate to keep hold of their talisman and have set an asking price of €100million (£85.8m), though they are happy for some of that fee to be covered in add-ons.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich lead race for Randal Kolo Muani
Manchester United and Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the race to sign Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani this summer. Erik ten Hag’s main priority this summer is to sign a new No.9 but his plans have so far been scuppered with top target Harry Kane seemingly unobtainable thanks to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. The Red Devils have other targets in mind namely Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, as well as Kolo Muani who only joined Frankfurt on a free from Nantes last summer.
Frankfurt set €100million asking price for Kolo Muani
Any club who wants Kolo Muani will have to break the bank to do it, with Frankfurt setting an asking price of €100million (£85.8m) though they are happy for some of that fee to be covered in add-ons. This could affect United’s chances of signing him, with Ten Hag looking to strengthen in a number of positions this summer including goalkeeper and centre-midfield. However, United are reportedly leading the race alongside Bayern who have long held an interest.
Conclusion
Randal Kolo Muani is a highly sought-after striker this summer after an impressive 2022/23 campaign with Frankfurt. Manchester United and Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the race to sign him, but Frankfurt have set an asking price of €100million (£85.8m), which could affect United’s chances of signing him.
