The player in question is Eintracht Frankfurt striker, Randal Kolo Muani.
Muani joined Frankfurt last summer and the striker has gone on to have a very impressive debut season in Germany.
He scored 23 goals and provided 17 assists in 46 outings across all competitions this past season.
Previous reports have suggested that Manchester United will have to pay €120m to land Muani’s services.
That is a fairly steep fee for any club to pay, but Manchester United are in desperate need of a true goalscoring centre-forward.
And the higher-ups at Man United seemingly agree as it has been reported on Tuesday that Manchester United are preparing an initial transfer bid for the Eintracht Frankfurt striker.
Christian Falk has also previously linked Kolo Muani with United as well as Chelsea, but the Blues have instead been tipped to make a switch for Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic in recent weeks.
As a result, Manchester United may have a clear shot at landing Muani in the summer window.
The Red Devils have been linked with Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as well, heading into the summer window.
