Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani hints at a summer move amid reports of interest from Manchester United.

Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani has said that he would be open to a summer switch amid rumours linking him with a big-money move to Manchester United.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for Frankfurt during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 16 goals and registering 14 assists in 35 appearances in all competitions.

Muani has scored 11 goals and registered 12 assists in 24 Bundesliga appearances, while he has managed five goals in the Champions League and DFB-Pokal this term.

A recent report claimed that Man United were preparing to launch a £106m offer for the France international, having identified him as a leading target for the summer window.

Muani is currently with his national team preparing for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualification fixtures against the Netherlands and Republic of Ireland.

When asked about a possible move this summer, the striker said he is 'remaining focused on his current club', but he refused to rule out an exit at the end of the campaign.

"We talk about it a lot already, but I try to be focused on my club. We continue our performances and we will see this summer. Afterwards, I always dreamed of playing in big clubs," he told L'Equipe.

"I thought I was going to need some time to adapt, maybe a year. But everything exploded. Either way, I'm ready for any challenge. I ask the club to get me my statistics on my matches each time.

"I share this with my physical trainer to know what to improve. I do a lot of goals and assists, but it's not at the level where I should be. I still miss quite a bit. This is only my third (full) season as a pro."

Muani was in action for France at the 2022 World Cup, making three appearances at the competition, contributing one goal and one assist in the process.

Man United have also been heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

However, Erik ten Hag's side could find it difficult to convince Spurs to sell to a domestic rival, while Napoli may ultimately decide to block an exit for Osimhen.

Muani moved to Frankfurt from Nantes last year, and he scored 23 goals and registered 16 assists in 87 appearances for the French side in all competitions before his arrival in German football.
