It’s no longer a secret that FC Bayern is looking for a superstar to play up front for the new season. For a long time, Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Victor Osimhen (SSC Napoli) and Randal Kolo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt) were considered the hottest and most expensive irons in the fire of the rumor mill – in the meantime, a clear favorite has emerged. The problem: In Munich you should be cautious about the transfer.
According to “Sport Bild”, a conversation with Harry Kane’s father recently made Bayern Munich realize that the second-best attacker in Premier League history would rather continue his career on the island. Naples President Aurelio de Laurentiis recently categorically ruled out saying goodbye to Vicor Osimhen to “Rai”.
For the plans of the German record champions, this should mean that the main focus is now on a commitment from Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt. An assumption that the “image” now fueled vigorously.
The newspaper predicts an “entertaining game of poker” between FC Bayern and Hessen, which will dominate the headlines in the “next few weeks”.
The fact that the Munich team now wants to intensify their efforts is said to be primarily due to a very prominent fan of Kolo Muanis: Uli Hoeneß. The honorary president of Munich is “more powerful than ever since his official retirement” as president and head of the supervisory board at the end of 2019 and is currently “pushing” a transfer of the 24-year-old Frenchman, it is said.
The great influence of the club legend is made possible, among other things, by a “close connection” to sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.
FC Bayern should offer this sum
However, if the report is to be believed, the road to a deal will be rocky. Bayern are therefore only willing to throw a transfer fee of 60 million euros into the ring. Frankfurt, on the other hand, should demand a sum beyond the magic 100 million euro limit.
Eintracht’s sports boss Markus Krösche already said on “Sky” that he would simply reject an offer of 100 million euros. Words that are certainly not set in stone, but which suggest that 60 million euros is far from enough.
Especially since the SBU is in a very comfortable position: Kolo Muani, who was only brought from Nantes on a free transfer in 2022, is still under contract with the Hessians until the summer of 2027, and the financially strong clubs in the Premier League, above all Manchester United, should also be involved keep an eye on the right foot.
In short: the coming weeks should actually be very entertaining.
