The January transfer window may be closed around Europe, but teams are looking ahead to the summer and there’s plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Bayern focused on Kolo Muani
Bayern Munich are pushing to sign a striker in the summer transfer window and have focused on Eintracht Frankfurt‘s Randal Kolo Muani, according Sky Sports Deutschland.
This comes with the Bavarian club feeling that Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is too injury prone and that 17-year-old Mathys Tel needs time to develop.
Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane has often been discussed but is no longer as popular at Bayern, while Victor Osimhen‘s transfer valuation of over €100m makes a deal unlikely for Napoli star.
Benfica‘s Goncalo Ramos is being looked at, having recorded 36 goal contributions in 38 games across all competitions this term and impressing for the Portugal national team. The 21-year-old is represented by Gestifute, who Bayern have previously worked with when they signed Joao Cancelo and Renato Sanches.
Bayern have also expressed interest in Manchester City‘s Julian Alvarez, according the Ekrem Konur, although that would be likely due to the Argentina star having signed an extension at the Etihad last month.
As such, Kolo Muani is the striker Bayern are most keen on due to his Bundesliga experience, with 33 goal contributions in 38 competitive matches this term.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt have already told Bayern that they will not be accepting any offers under their valuation of €100m plus add-ons for the France star. Kolo Muani has no release clause and a contract that is set to run until the summer of 2027.
