The current Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly in talks to sign French striker Randal Kolo Muani. The player is currently playing for the German side Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, PSG and Eintracht are looking to reach an agreement for the 24-year-old striker. Kolo Muani has been on the radar of many of the top European powerhouses. One of the other interested parties was Premier League Giants Manchester United.
The Red Devils were reportedly admirers of the striker and were eager to acquire his services to bolster their attack. But no further movement was seen to sign the striker.
Reportedly, Paris Saint-Germain and Eintracht Frankfurt have reached a $98 million agreement for the transfer of France international striker Randal Kolo Muani. However, PSG has reportedly offered $81 million and an add-on of $16 million. The player has also agreed to a 5-year contract with the Parisian club.

Both clubs are now finding a possible way to get this deal done as soon as possible. Reports suggest that Eintracht is looking for a replacement, and Hugo Ekitike is being discussed as an option.
Kolo Muani‘s demand has risen ever since his performance in the Qatar World Cup 2022. The player had a nice tournament with his nation. In his very first World Cup, the player played in the finals of the glorious tournament. So far, the former Nantes striker has played nine games for the France National Team and has scored only once.
