Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt recently had to play ten Bundesliga games without a win. Now SGE was able to break the curse with a 3-0 win over FSV Mainz 05. And who met? In addition to Kamada and Aurélio Buta, not surprisingly, top performer Randal Kolo Muani once again.
The Hessians hit the jackpot with him a year ago. The professional from France came to the Main from FC Nantes on a free transfer – and hit the ground running. With 14 goals and 14 assists in the Bundesliga, two goals in the Champions League and six goals in the DFB Cup, he has more than convinced.

Now a departure of the 24-year-old is becoming more and more likely. He was one of the club’s few bright spots, even during the doldrums of the past few weeks. It is therefore foreseeable that he will leave the club. Should Frankfurt miss the race for European places and suffer a defeat against Leipzig in the DFB Cup final, a departure is almost certain. One thing is clear: then a successor is needed.
Eintracht Frankfurt have considered a possible replacement for Muani
Now a promising candidate comes into the conversation. Apparently there were even talks like Sky want to have experienced. The possible successor is a compatriot of Muani. Moussa Dembélé will leave Olympique Lyon after the current season. Free transfer.

The striker is a “very interesting player”, as the SGE puts it. There are said to be talks between the club and the professional’s management. However, according to Sky, there is a fundamental problem: the salary. Moussa Dembélé therefore wants two million net a year. An immense sum for Frankfurt.
“We are considering and evaluating this option.”

In flirting with the striker, Frankfurt also has competition. Apparently, Olympique Marseille also have an eye on the 26-year-old. And in Naples he is being discussed as a possible successor to Victor Osimhen.
Dembélé is apparently not averse to moving to Frankfurt
As Sky reports with reference to Mamadi Fofana, Dembélé’s advisor, Frankfurt would be a solid solution for the French. There he explained: “Frankfurt are a big club in the Bundesliga with a large fan base. We are considering and evaluating this option.”

However, Dembélé would not be a one-to-one successor to Muani. The classic center forward has a high presence in the penalty area, is tall and good at heading the ball. Muani, on the other hand, is appreciated for his speed and his start-up behavior. Typical weaknesses of Dembélé.
Mick Schumacher must have followed the race in Miami on Sunday with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it has once again become clear that his team, Mercedes, once again has no chance of winning the title this season.
