Randal Kolo Muani only needed one season in the Bundesliga to catch the eye of the biggest European clubs. Already considered a big talent on the side of FC Nantes, the young 24-year-old striker has totally exploded this season in Frankfurt. With the German club, he had an XXL season scoring 23 goals and providing 17 assists in 46 matches. Just that. With his performances, he also won his place in the France team.
Last November, he took advantage of Nkunku’s last-minute injury to take part in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The rest, we know. Scorer against Morocco in the semi-finals, he was the trigger for the revolt of his team in the final against Argentina. He could have been the hero if his one-on-one hadn’t been rebuffed by Emiliano Martinez. And with a successful 2022-2023 season, there is no shortage of suitors for the Bondynois. Even if he only played one season in Frankfurt, the player is announced on departure.
Frankfurt does not want to sell it
Indeed, Bayern Munich, in search of a number 9 since the departure of Lewandowski last season, has made it one of its priorities. The player is very popular with Thomas Tuchel. Recently, the French press also mentioned a desire by PSG to repatriate the Frenchman while England is closely following this file. Rumors which also seem to imply that Frankfurt is now too small to keep a talent like that of Randal Kolo Muani. But this is not at all in the opinion of the management of the German club.
In the columns of BILDthe boss of football in Frankfurt Markus Krösche wanted to calm everyone in this file. “We don’t have to set a deadline. He still has a long contract (until 2027, editor’s note) and has never said he wants to leave. It has certainly developed very well and that is why other clubs can attract attention. But there is nothing concrete.he thus explained, adding that the possibility of seeing Kolo Muani stay did exist. “We must also leave the church in the village!” Football is a team sport; success does not only depend on one player. There are things Randal can do better here, especially with Dino Toppmöller.” The new Frankfurt coach, former assistant to Nagelsmann, has already sent a message to his player: “He’s an incredibly good striker. It goes without saying that everyone here hopes he stays.” The message got through.
