Randal Kolo Muani 'to reject Manchester United for Bayern Munich move'

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 22 goals and registering 15 assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

Kolo Muani has 14 goals and 12 assists in 30 Bundesliga outings, while he also managed two goals in seven Champions League appearances before his side's elimination from the competition.

The France international's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with a number of clubs believed to be keen to sign him during the upcoming market.

Man United have been heavily linked with his services, but according to Sport1, Kolo Muani will turn down the 20-time English champions in order to move to Bayern.

Bayern are preparing to sign a new centre-forward this summer, with the Bundesliga giants looking to bring in a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who departed last year.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen has also been linked with the Munich club, but CEO Oliver Kahn has suggested that the Bundesliga team will not move for the Nigerian this summer.

Kolo Muani represented Nantes ahead of Frankfurt, scoring 23 goals and registering 16 assists in 87 appearances for the French outfit.

Frankfurt CEO Axel Hellmann recently played down suggestions that the Frenchman could leave the German club during this summer's transfer window, but it is still thought to be a possibility that he will be on the move in the upcoming market.

Man United are also preparing to move for a new forward this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane still believed to be their leading target in the final third of the field.

However, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is said to be unwilling to sell the England captain to a domestic rival, which could lead to the Red Devils switching their focus elsewhere.

Osimhen is also being linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but the Nigerian could ultimately be priced out of a move to Old Trafford, with a recent report claiming that Napoli value him at £140m.

Chelsea are another major European club looking for a new striker, but the Blues will not be able to offer Champions League football to potential new signings next season.
