What did Ribery see?

“It would have been good to see Mbappé at Bayern Munich. But that’s life. There is never a guarantee of signing a player,” the former French international said.

Who Bayern Munich should sign

The Bayern legend has now urged his former side to turn their attention to another young French forward, Randal Kolo Muani. The Eintracht Frankfurt forward has enjoyed an impressive start to his first season in German football.

Kolo Muani’s debut season

As noted by Transfermarkt, Kolo Muani has played 33 games for the Bundesliga side, scoring 16 goals and notching up 14 assists.

“Kolo Muani has character. What he’s doing at Frankfurt is great. He is young and has potential, so the answer is clear. Bayern have always signed young players with high potential,” said Ribery.
