FC Bayern is looking for a new top striker – Kolo Muani is hoping for a change

Biggest Market Value Winner

With 17 goals, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is FC Bayern’s most prolific player this season. The 34-year-old, who is dealing with coach Thomas Tuchel for the third time in his career, recently extended his contract until 2024. Apparently, the record champion does not want to rely solely on the qualities of Choupo-Moting. Loud “Sport1” FCB plans to sign a new top striker in the summer. The currently most successful Bundesliga scorer should position himself for this post: Randal Kolo Muani (24, Eintracht Frankfurt).

According to the report, Bayern want to get a new man for the storm center in addition to the already bagged, but not yet officially confirmed commitment of Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer (25). The squad should only be strengthened selectively. Among other things, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic realized that Sadio Mané (30) and Serge Gnabry (27) would not be an alternative for the nine position.

A new top solution should therefore be found when the possibilities allow for it. Harry Kane (29, Tottenham Hotspur), Kolo Muani and Victor Osimhen (24, SSC Napoli) are traded as candidates. Problematic: All three attackers could cost a fee in the hundreds of millions. Kolo Muani, who scored again in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum, is hoping loudly “Sport1” on a move to Bayern Munich. Munich should be on the wish list for the French ahead of competitors like Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester United.

In addition to the ambitious goals, his enthusiasm for Bayern is also said to have something to do with the five French players on Säbener Straße. A good two months ago, Kolo Muani, who has a contract with SGE until June 2027, reacted cautiously to speculation about a change. “Bayern Munich is a big team, every player dreams of playing for big clubs,” he said on “Sky”. “But I just focus on the here and now and I hope that we achieve our goals.”

The offensive man made a huge leap in the Bundesliga’s most recent market value update. When he moved from FC Nantes to Frankfurt in the summer of 2022, his market value was €16m – four updates later it’s €65m. “The high-flyer of the season is not only causing a sensation in the Bundesliga, but is also attracting international attention. There are increasing signs that high-priced offers are coming for him in the summer, and this also corresponds to our assessment that he should be in great demand on the market from the overall package,” said TM market value admin Frederic Hillmann (“DonRoxy”) Appreciation by 28 million euros.
