Everton, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a blow to their transfer interest in Randal Kolo Muani. The striker has no interest in leaving Eintracht Frankfurt during January.
That is according to Sky Germany, which reports Kolo Muani feels comfortable at Deutsche Bank Park. He is also already a fans’ favourite after joining Die Adler in a free transfer from FC Nantes in July. Eintracht Frankfurt snapped up the 24-year-old at the end of his contract.

The fan culture in Germany, extremely at Eintracht Frankfurt, has also impressed Kolo Muani after experiencing a new country for the first time in his career. While he further admires the way the Bundesliga plays and sees the league as an ‘ideal platform’ to aid his development.
Kolo Muani and Eintracht Frankfurt have no interest in accepting a January transfer
So, Kolo Muani has no interest in now sealing a quick transfer away from Eintracht Frankfurt in January. Die Adler also have no interest in depriving themselves of a five-cap France ace who shone at the World Cup. Even though he was not initially in line to travel to Qatar 2022.
Didier Deschamps only listed Kolo Muani in Les Bleus’ side after losing Christopher Nkunku to an injury. But the Adler forward scored once in their semi-final win over Morocco. He also won the first penalty that Kylian Mbappe scored in the final to slash Argentina’s advantage.
Kolo Muani has dazzled in the Bundesliga, too, with five goals and 10 assists in 14 games. He also has two goals in six Champions League matches, plus a goal and an assist in two DFB Pokal ties. So, Eintracht Frankfurt have now slapped a gigantic price tag on their star.
Everton are the latest team to hold talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over Kolo Muani
Only offers worth around €100m (£88m) would concern Eintracht Frankfurt with Kolo Muani under contract to 2027. So, Manchester United face a fruitless approach in January as the Red Devils eye a deal. L’Equipe reports Erik ten Hag is ready to make a €60m (£53m) bid.
Everton have also now contacted Eintracht Frankfurt to discuss a transfer for Kolo Muani in January, per RMC Sport. But they face rival interest in the Bondy-born star Die Adler board member for sport Markus Krosche has described as ‘fast, robust and a very good finisher’.
Liverpool, Tottenham and Bayern Munich also held talks over a possible move before Qatar 2022. But Eintracht Frankfurt have no interest in selling Kolo Muani during January and the Everton et al target has no interest in moving on during the current transfer window, either.
The price tag in question would have ruled Everton out of a deal, anyway. The Daily Mail has reported that Frank Lampard must sell some of his stars before bringing in any new options. Aston Villa have also rejected the Toffees’ approach to sign Danny Ings on loan this January.
