Real Madrid intensify race for Randal Kolo Muani
Real Madrid are intensifying hunt for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani.
The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 21 goals and registering 15 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.
Muani has 13 goals and 12 assists in the Bundesliga this term, while he also netted twice in seven Champions League appearances before Frankfurt’s elimination from the competition.
A number of the biggest clubs in world football, including Bayern Munich and Manchester United, are said to be interested in signing the France international.
A recent report claimed that Man United actually rate Muani higher than Victor Osimhen despite the latter’s excellent campaign for Serie A leaders Napoli.
Kylian Mbappe is also allegedly pushing for Paris Saint-Germain to make a move for Muani, who arrived at Frankfurt from Nantes during last summer’s transfer window.

Frankfurt are said to be fully aware of the growing interest in the forward but will refuse to sell this summer unless they receive an astronomical offer, with the club instead looking for a big-money deal after Euro 2024, where Muani is expected to play a key role for France.
According to Le10Sport, Real Madrid are also firmly in the race, with Los Blancos determined to win the race for Kolo Muani’s signature when he eventually leaves the Eagles.
The report claims that Frankfurt are likely to be in a position to demand a fee of around €100m (£88m) due to the growing interest in his services.
Kolo Muani was in action for France at the 2022 World Cup, and he has now represented his national side on seven occasions, scoring once and providing one assist.
