Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani opens the door to a summer exit, amid speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United.

Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani has hinted at a potential summer exit, amid links with Manchester United.

The Red Devils are looking to sign a central striker this summer, and the likes of Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen are understood to be among their targets.

However, Man United are unlikely to pursue a move for Kane this summer, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy refusing to sanction a sale.

Osimhen, meanwhile, is under contract with Napoli until the summer of 2025 and would command a fee in excess of £100m.

The 20-time English champions are understood to be considering other targets, and Kolo Muani has been mooted as a potential option.

The France international racked up 23 goals and 17 assists in 46 competitive appearances for Frankfurt during the 2022-23 campaign.

Kolo Muani, who has been capped by France on seven occasions, is currently preparing for two Euro 2024 qualifiers with his national side.

Speaking ahead of matches against Gibraltar and Greece, the forward has admitted that he wants to represent the "big clubs".

"Honestly, I want to keep improving and working hard," Kolo Muani told reporters. "It's my dream to play for the big clubs - why not?

"But right now it's off-topic, I'm with the national team. We have two important matches. The transfer window has just started, we'll see all of that when the international break is over."

With four years left to run on Kolo Muani's contract, Frankfurt CEO Alex Hallmann revealed in May that the Frenchman would cost in excess of €90m (£78m).

Man United also hold an interest in Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos, while Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund is believed to be on their radar.

Hojlund, who scored 16 goals for Atalanta last term, recently admitted that he was "flattered" to be linked with a move to Man United.
