Chelsea have expressed interest in signing Randal Kolo Muani but Eintracht Frankfurt have set a steep asking price for the World Cup finalist.

Premier League rivals Manchester United are also reportedly interested in signing the 24 year old France international.

Kolo Muani is enjoying a breakthrough season, scoring eight goals and making 10 assists in 22 games for Frankfurt before the World Cup.

The 24-year-old continued to impress in Qatar, scoring in France’s semi-final win over Morocco and then playing the majority of the final against Argentina after being subbed on in the first half.

According to ESPN via Metro, Frankfurt are demanding £80million for the transfer of the 24 year old.

Eintracht Frankfurt are not interested in selling Kolo Muani this month but realise they may be forced to agree a deal in the summer.
