Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs ‘interested’ in a deal for FC Nantes striker Randal Kolo Muani.
The Reds have been named alongside Eintracht Frankfurt and AC Milan as the potential suitors for the 23-year-old.
Formerly of French Championnat National side US Boulogne, Muani has made a promising start to life in the top flight.
Now a report from reputable German outlet SportBILD, as cited by Anfield Edition on Twitter has claimed that Jurgen Klopp is keen on the Frenchman.

The report claims that Klopp is willing to ‘fight’ for the three-times capped ace and may hold the advantage due to begin able to offer a higher salary.
So far this season Muani – likened to Nwankwo Kanu by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry – has scored seven and provided three assists in 18 Ligue outings.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Valued at £10.8million and out of contract at the end of the season (Transfermarkt), signing the Frenchman for nothing in six months is an appealing proposition.
Described as having an ‘imposing physical presence’ by Target Scouting, the 6’2 forward can also operate from wide positions as well as centrally.
Possessing impressive pace and an eye for goal, Muani possesses all the raw attributes to develop further in a promising career.
Likely to lose Divock Origi at the end of the season, it’s clear to see why the Reds would be attentive to the possibility of landing a replacement for nothing.
