Eintracht Frankfurt would only be willing to sell Randal Kolo Muani this summer if they received a 'crazy bid' for the centre-forward.

Eintracht Frankfurt would reportedly only be willing to sell Randal Kolo Muani during this summer's transfer window if they received a 'crazy bid' for the centre-forward.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2022-23 campaign, featuring on 40 occasions in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and registering 14 assists in the process.

The France international has netted 13 goals and registered 12 assists in 28 Bundesliga outings, and his form has led to a host of speculation surrounding his future.

Manchester United are said to be keen on the Frenchman, viewing him as a possible alternative to Harry Kane, with Tottenham Hotspur believed to be unwilling to sell the England captain to the Red Devils.

Meanwhile, Bayern are thought to be huge admirers of the striker, with the German champions looking to sign a replacement for Robert Lewandowski this summer following his move to Barcelona last year.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Frankfurt are aware of Bayern's interest, while a number of Premier League clubs are also keeping an eye on his form.

There have been suggestions that offers in the region of €60m (£53.1m) would be seriously considered by the Eagles, who are currently ninth in the Bundesliga table.

However, Romano claims that Frankfurt would only consider a 'crazy bid', with the club looking to keep hold of him for at least another year before a potential big-money sale in the summer of 2024.

Muani, who represented Nantes ahead of a switch to Frankfurt, featured on three occasions for France at the 2022 World Cup, scoring in the semi-finals against Morocco.

The forward also started both of his national side's Euro 2024 qualification matches last month, with the 2022 World Cup finalists beating the Netherlands 4-0 and Republic of Ireland 1-0.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen is another striker to be heavily linked with a summer move, but the Nigeria international is also likely to command a fee in excess of £100m.

As well as Man United and Bayern, Chelsea are another club in the market for a new centre-forward, with the Blues prepared to spend big despite their activity over the last couple of windows.

A recent report claimed that Man United and Chelsea could go head to head for the signature of Jonathan David, who has impressed for Lille during the 2022-23 campaign.
