Bayern Munich have come back in for Manchester United target Randal Kolo Muani.

The striker was not admired by Julian Nagelsmann when he was with the German giants - but the situation is thought to have changed with Thomas Tuchel.

Sky Germany report that Eintracht Frankfurt still want €100m plus extras for the forward, and that a bid of around €70-80m would not be enough for them to sell.

Kolo Muani would reportedly prefer a move to Bayern Munich over Manchester United this summer, suggests Sport1, meaning that Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag may have to look elsewhere for striking options in the transfer market, with Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen also thought to be targets.

The attacker has been tearing it up in the Bundesliga - in fact, no player in the German division has contributed to more goal contributions this season than the Frenchman - who has 12 goals and 10 assists already.

Bayern's sporting director speaks on targets

Bayern's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic recently spoke about his ambition to bring in attacking reinforcements to the fold next campaign.

He told Sky Germany: "In all likelihood, there will be a new striker, whether it's Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen or Randal Kolo Muani, the coming weeks will show."

Indeed, Kane and Osimhen are both liked by Man Utd, but there is a reluctance to sell by Spurs and Napoli.

In any case, Ten Hag will be wanting to bring a prominent name into the fold ahead of next season.

Man Utd were short on funds in the January transfer window and so had to rely on bringing in Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley.

It looks unlikely that a deal for the striker will be made permanent in the summer, though it’s very possible that the Dutchman will be playing Premier League football once more, with his parent club promoted last week from the Championship.
