Roberto Firmino replacement 'watched' by Liverpool with £88m price tag

Liverpool are being linked with a move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani.

The summer transfer window is fast approaching, and the Reds are already being credited with an interest in potential new signings. Jude Bellingham and Mason Mount are the two names who are headlining the rumour mill, but they are not alone.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have previously been linked with a move for Kolo Muani in January. The striker starred for France at the World Cup, scoring in the semi-final win over Morocco.

According to Sport Bild, via Sport Witness, the Reds are considering a move for the France international this summer. The report states that the recent news that Roberto Firmino will leave the club at the end of the season will have a “knock-on effect” for Frankfurt.

It has been stated that Liverpool are looking for a replacement for Firmino, with Kolo Muani identified as that player. As a result, this could have “bad consequences” for Frankfurt, with their striker being the subject of transfer speculation.

Manchester United have also been linked with a big-money move for Kolo Muani. The 24-year-old has scored 14 goals and provided 16 assists in all competitions this season.

Further reports have suggested that Frankfurt would demand a fee in excess of €‎100m (£88m) for the signing of Kolo Muani this summer. His current deal with the Bundesliga club runs until the summer of 2027.
