Monday afternoon, at the heart of a transfer window meeting between management and staff in Frankfurt, there were no signs of agitation around the case of Randal Kolo Muani (24). Whether it was Dino Toppmöller, the coach, or Markus Krösche, the sporting director, everyone agreed that the first written offer from Paris of €60m, accompanied by €10m in bonuses, was too low. .
A few weeks earlier, Frankfurt had already refused €70m plus €10m in bonuses from Manchester United. Since this proposal on Sunday, PSG and Frankfurt have been in discussion to find the best solution. Paris was to send a second proposal of €70m, with bonuses. New direct negotiations are scheduled for Wednesday.
Frankfurt will have to decide
If Frankfurt remains calm in the face of Parisian attacks, its management is aware of having to decide quickly on one side or the other. If the Germans grant a departure to the French striker, a quick replacement solution will have to be found on the market.
Luis Campos still hoped to be able to negotiate a loan with an option to buy or a sale of Hugo Ekitike with Frankfurt. But the striker still wants to look at his options elsewhere as West Ham and AC Milan hope to move forward on the matter.
