Can he resist offers of hundreds of millions? Frankfurt jewel Kolo Muani responds to speculation
Eintracht Frankfurt made a fantastic transfer in the summer that can only benefit them in the future. Randal Kolo Muani may have come to the club for free, but it is already certain that if he leaves, it will be for interesting money. And what does the player himself have to say?
Eintracht Frankfurt made a fantastic transfer in the summer that can only benefit them in the future. Randal Kolo Muani may have come to the club for free, but it is already certain that if he leaves, it will be for interesting money. And what does the player himself have to say?
Randal Kolo Muani was still a player of French side Nantes last season. He was putting up pretty decent numbers, but he was hardly known. And Eintracht Frankfurt took advantage of this in the summer. The Europa League winner brought the French striker for free.
But in Germany, Muani is really doing well. He’s a team leader, even made the French national team. He was also at the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored a goal in the semi-final and an assist in the final.
However, in Qatar, he could have made the difference in the last minute of extra time in the final against Argentina to ensure that his France would once again rule the football world, but he was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
But back to his club career. He’s put up some great numbers this season. He has played 34 competitive games, scoring 16 goals and 14 assists. At 24 years old, Transfermarkt puts his price tag at €37 million.
But Frankfurt will want a much higher sum if he is sold. Muani is under contract at Eintracht until 2027, so there is no reason to feel under pressure. Moreover, the Frenchman himself doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry to go anywhere.
This is despite the speculation circulating in the world media. According to Bild, Manchester United are preparing an offer of 120 million euros just for the French footballer.
“It’s beautiful, I’m happy to hear it, but I don’t pay any attention to it. I have my job here in Frankfurt, I have a five-year contract with the club and together with Eintracht we have big ambitions,” Bulinews quotes Muani as saying.
Muani would undoubtedly like to win a trophy. After all, last year’s Europa League victory proves that Frankfurt’s ambitions are not a mere myth. However, they will not win the league trophy and only the German Cup is in play. There, Eintracht have reached the quarter-finals so far.
