PSG have just made a £68.8m bid to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt – after the striker held talks about joining Chelsea.

That is according to Sky Sports.

So, what is the latest on Chelsea target Randal Kolo Muani? Let’s take a look…

What’s the story?

Well, the Parisians have already made a €65m (£56m) bid for the France international, which was rejected by Eintracht Frankfurt – according to Florian Plettenburg of Sky Germany.

Now – however – PSG have returned with an improved £68.8m offer.

It comes after L’Equipe claimed that Chelsea held talks about bringing Muani to Stamford Bridge earlier this summer.

Fortunately for Mauricio Pochettino – who admitted on Friday that he wants Chelsea to sign a new forward – Sky Sports here in England have since revealed that this bid has also been rejected.

Eintracht Frankfurt want €100m (£86m) for the 24-year-old.

Therefore, Muani is still up for grabs, although Sky Sports add that Muani would like to join PSG, so Chelsea have a mission on their hands if they are to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt No.9 this summer.

The Frenchman made a name for himself in the 2023/24 campaign by remarkably scoring 23 goals – and providing 17 assists – in 46 appearances.

Chelsea have alternative to PSG target Kolo Muani

Last week, it sounded as if Pochettino wanted a diminutive, creative attacker as links to Rayan Cherki and Mohammed Kudus did the rounds.

Now – however – Chelsea are being linked to a vastly different type of striker, with proper No.9 style forwards like Muani and Ivan Toney hitting the headlines.

According to the Independent, Chelsea could still make a move for Brentford No.17 Toney before Friday’s transfer deadline, so perhaps a true centre-forward could arrive rather than a silky attacking midfielder.

Be sure to keep an eye on developments at Stamford Bridge this week, as we expect Chelsea to be busy.
