Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly made an official bid for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani.
The France international’s future has been the subject of much speculation this summer, with a number of clubs believed to be keen to sign him off the back of his impressive 2022-23 campaign.
Kolo Muani scored 23 goals and registered 17 assists in 46 appearances for Frankfurt last season, while he is already off the mark for this campaign, scoring in his side’s German Cup opener with Lokomotive Leipzig.
Frankfurt are in a strong position when it comes to the Frenchman’s future, with his contract having another four years left to run, and the German club’s sporting dictator Markus Krosche recently said that the attacker is “very comfortable” with the Eagles.
According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, PSG have placed an official bid on the table, and the player is determined to secure a move to the French champions before the window closes.
Journalist Erik Peters claims that the bid is in the region of €65m (£55.6m), which is unlikely to be accepted, with Frankfurt said to value him in the region of €100m (£85.5m).
Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid are also among the clubs to be linked with his services.
Meanwhile, it is understood that Bayern Munich were firmly interested in Kolo Muani before deciding to focus on bringing Harry Kane to the club from Tottenham Hotspur.
Kolo Muani started his professional career in France with Nantes, representing the club on 87 occasions in all competitions, finding the back of the net 23 times.
PSG have recently brought Kylian Mbappe back into the fold, and the France international was on the scoresheet in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Toulouse in Ligue 1.
Luis Enrique’s side have made an underwhelming start to the season, though, picking up just two points from two matches, which has left them down in eighth position in the table.
Goncalo Ramos has also recently been signed on loan from Benfica, while Ousmane Dembele and Marco Asensio are also among those to join the club during the summer market.
PSG are believed to be expecting their first offer to be rejected, but the club are not willing to meet Frankfurt’s €100m (£85.5m) asking price.
The French champions have a new look to their attack this season, with both Lionel Messi and Neymar leaving the club, while there remains uncertainty surrounding the future of Mbappe.
