Kolo Muani reveals dream move amid Man Utd interest
Manchester United target Randal Kolo Muani reveals his plans for the future, while Eintracht Frankfurt are already looking for a replacement.
The Frenchman has hit like a bomb in the Bundesliga since last summer's free transfer to Frankfurt from Ligue 1 side Nantes.
His blistering pace, impressive technique and intelligent movement have terrified German defences and allowed the 24-year-old to rack up 11 goals and 12 assists in 24 league fixtures, chipping in with two further goals in the Champions League as well.

A late addition to France's 2022 World Cup roster, Kolo Muani impressed in his short cameos in Qatar too. Due to his outstanding performances, his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has skyrocketed in recent months, currently peaking at €65.6 million.
Unsurprisingly, then, the Frenchman, whose Frankfurt contract runs until 2027, has repeatedly been linked with a big-money move to one of Europe's elite clubs this summer.
While Paris Saint-Germain have also been in the conversation, the most concrete interest in the rapid forward's services is emanating from Old Trafford, with Manchester United reportedly preparing a blockbuster €120m offer that Frankfurt could hardly refuse.
A dream come true?
Now, Kolo Muani has revealed what the future may hold. Aware of the high-profile interest in him, the Frenchman refused to explicitly commit to his current side beyond the summer, stating that he has always dreamt of playing for a big club, as quoted by Sportbuzzer.
Moreover, he declared that missing out on the World Cup has awakened a real desire in him to accumulate silverware. "I want this World Cup now. I want to win trophies." At Frankfurt, his only hope for silverware is the DFB-Pokal and one of the lesser European competitions.

If he wants to win league titles and the Champions League, he will have to move on to a bigger club, something that is a distinct possibility now seeing as though Frankfurt are already searching for a replacement.
With an “Umbruch” (radical change) expected in Frankfurt, Sport Bild says should the club get more than 100 mil Euro for Randal Kolo Muani, sporting director Markus Krösche would be prepared to pay individual sums of around 15 mil for new players - but not more than 20 mil. #SGE

Talented but inconsistent Wolfsburg forward Omar Marmoush has reportedly already passed a medical and could be seen as a Kolo Muani lite, though Eintracht are prepared to spend another €15m on a proper replacement should the Frenchman depart, according to Sport Bild.
