# Virals: Liverpool interested in signing FC Nantes striker Randal Kolo Muani

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/05/virals-liverpool-could-allow-double-defensive-transfer-departure/) 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](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/05/virals-lazio-reportedly-in-talks-to-sign-liverpool-ace-divock-origi/) as the potential suitors for the 23-year-old.

Formerly of French Championnat National side US Boulogne, Muani has made a [promising start](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/487969) to life in the top flight.

Now a report from reputable German outlet [SportBILD](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/eintracht-frankfurt-kampf-mit-klopp-um-stuermer-angebot-fuer-verteidiger-78734068,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html), as cited by [Anfield Edition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/nationalmannschaft/spieler/487969/verein_id/53860) ace and may hold the advantage due to begin able to offer a higher salary.

So far this season Muani – [likened to Nwankwo Kanu](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/09/21/everton-muani/) by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry – has [scored seven and provided three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/leistungsdaten/spieler/487969) in 18 Ligue outings.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £10.8million and out of contract at the end of the season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/marktwertverlauf/spieler/487969)), signing the Frenchman for nothing in six months is an appealing proposition.

Described as having an ‘imposing physical presence’ by [Target Scouting](https://readliverpoolfc.com/imposing%20physical%20presence), the 6’2 forward can also operate from wide positions as well as centrally.

Possessing impressive pace and an [eye for goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/randal-kolo-muani/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/487969), Muani possesses all the raw attributes to develop further in a promising career.

Likely to lose [Divock Origi](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/05/virals-lazio-reportedly-in-talks-to-sign-liverpool-ace-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.
