KEY POINTS
- Eintracht Frankfurt is listening to offers for Randal Kolo Muani as the January transfer window beckons
- Liverpool is leaving doors open for adding another forward to the mix
- Tottenham is also interested in recruiting Kolo Muani to shore up its forward line
Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly ready to listen to offers for French forward Randal Kolo Muani, a potential target in the January transfer window.
According to The Athletic, SGE is a player up for grabs, someone who could fetch up to £69 million ($83 million).
Eintracht Frankfurt signed the French footballer via free transfer in the summer from FC Nantes.
The 24-year-old is reportedly on the radar of Liverpool according to the report from Foot Mercato.
He is seen as a sensible addition to any team as Kolo Muani has already scored five goals and provided 10 assists in 14 league appearances.
In addition, he is coming off a credible stint for France at the World Cup 2022, taking the place of Christopher Nkunku who was forced out due to an injury.
He also figured prominently for Les Bleus, helping the team achieve an improbable comeback in the finals of the aforementioned tourney.
Given his run, there is no question that the Eagles will be placing a hefty price tag on Kolo Muani with the price range speculated to reach up to £69 million ($83 million).
Successfully finding a buyer would also be profitable to Eintracht Frankfurt considering the French player is someone they owned for less than six months.
For Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out the possibility of adding another attacker in the next transfer window if the opportunity arises.
Last January, the Reds were able to sign Luis Diaz and Klopp believes that there could be potential signings available in the coming transfer window.
“We have two long-term injuries up front. Last January, Luis Diaz came in which was very helpful for that part of the season,” Klopp said to Fabrizio Romano. “Doing something similar this time, if it was a positive move–why not?”
Aside from Liverpool, Kolo Muani is also linked to Tottenham.
The Hotspurs have shown interest in Kolo Muani, hoping to add another forward to their mix.
With two top clubs expressing interest in Kolo Muani, it may all boil down to who can meet the asking price of Eintracht Frankfurt.
