“Man United’s Record-Breaking Bid for €100m+ Player Hits Roadblock” Blame the Glazers for Delaying the Deal!
Prior to the onset of the summer season, Manchester United extended the “most concrete offer” for the highly sought-after Eintracht Frankfurt sensation, Randal Kolo Muani.
As reported by SportBILD, however, the potential transfer of the French prodigy is currently facing delays due to the ongoing sale process initiated by the Glazers, which has caused a hindrance in the negotiations.
According to the esteemed publication, Muani’s exceptional performances this season, wherein he has amassed a staggering 19 goals and 14 assists in 28 appearances across various competitions, have rendered a move to a top-tier European club all but inevitable.
As the season draws to a close, the talented forward is expected to receive a plethora of lucrative offers, with Eintracht Frankfurt eagerly anticipating a transfer fee in excess of €100 million for their prized asset.
Manchester United had inquired about securing Muani’s services during the January transfer window, presenting their most compelling bid to date. The Red Devils highly value his formidable “power and technique” in front of goal, as well as his unwavering commitment and defensive prowess exemplified in the recent defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.
Muani himself is reportedly keen on a move to Old Trafford, as Manchester United holds a special place in his heart as his “favorite club” from his early days. However, a significant obstacle lies in the impending change in ownership at the club, with the Glazer family currently actively seeking a buyer and entertaining offers, thereby impeding the team’s planning for the upcoming season.
Erik ten Hag and his team at Eintracht Frankfurt have been grappling with a minuscule budget during the January transfer window, which has prevented them from making long-term plans until the ownership issue is resolved. As a result, a potential move for Muani with a transfer fee of €100 million or more cannot be pursued until the ownership situation is clarified.
Nevertheless, preparations are underway for the highly-regarded striker, with Manchester United leading the charge with their earnest efforts thus far in securing his signature.
