Chelsea are still interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Randal Kolo Muani, according to reports.
Randal Kolo Muani, who’s only 24, has had a phenomenal rise in the past year.
The French centre-forward has been on fire this season for German club Frankfurt, scoring 22 goals and making 16 assists in 44 games across all competitions.
Now, the speculation is that he could be on the move this summer.
Journalist Christian Falk reports that Kolo Muani will make a final decision on his future next month.
It is understood that a move to Stamford Bridge is still potentially on the cards, but the player is waiting to see if there will be any discussions with incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino.
“Randal Kolo Muani’s decision will come after the DFB Pokal cup final and France’s upcoming national games (until the 19th June),” Falk told CaughtOffside.
“He has time, then, to reach a decision and keep an eye on Manchester United’s ownership situation (which will affect how much they can spend).
“Chelsea are still in the race and he wants to wait and see if there will be talks with Mauricio Pochettino.”
90min claimed earlier this month that Bayern Munich want to beat Chelsea to sign Kolo Muani this summer in a deal that could be worth as much as £88million.
If Pochettino wants Kolo Muani at Chelsea, we should definitely ramp up the interest in Frankfurt’s talisman.
The fact that Chelsea have scored 37 goals in 37 league games this season shows everything you need to know about how poor they are in front of goal.
If the Blues can find a clinical striker to lead the line, we think there’s enough talent around that to drastically improve the attacking output.
