United Now Face Major Challenge From Real Madrid As £71M Battle For “Complete” Striker Heats Up

Real Madrid have made enquiries about Manchester United target Randal Kolo Muani, according to Relevo.com journalist Matteo Moretto.

The European champions are believed to have “asked” Eintracht Frankfurt “about the situation” of the forward, along with the Red Devils, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain:

Reports in the German media have made United the favourites to sign Muani but it appears that there will be fierce competition for the Frenchman’s signature, who has been praised as a “very complete” player by international teammate Kylian Mbappe.

Moretto claims that Frankfurt may demand around €80m (£71m) for Muani, which is substantially less than previous rumours that suggested a price above the €100m mark.

The 24-year-old has been in outstanding form this campaign, having scored 21 goals and contributed 15 assists in 42 appearances. It should be pointed out, though, that Muani only joined Frankfurt on a free transfer from Nantes last year, and there are still questions over whether he is simply going through a purple patch or if he is a genuine elite talent.
