In Football Transfer news, Kolo Muani has attracted interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs – with L'Équipereporting that both Manchester United and Bayern Munich have him among their targets.
The Red Devils are said to be readying a €60m offer to bring in the Frenchman this winter. However, having only made the move across the Rhine this summer, Kolo Muani – who has five goals and eight assists this season – wants to remain in the Bundesliga for the time being.
Bayern Munich have expressed their interest to the player's entourage, although unlike the Premier League side an offer is not yet on the cards. The Bavarians would be aiming to bring him in next summer – an arrangement that would work for Eintracht Frankfurt, who want to keep hold of Kolo Muani until the end of the season at least, ahead of their Champions League tie against Napoli.
🚨 Manchester United are preparing a €60M bid for Eintracht Frankfurt and France forward Randal Kolo Muani.
Muani saw his profile hit new heights during the World Cup as a result of his involvement with the French national team, who reached the final.
The 24 year old notably scored for Les Bleus in the semi-final against Morocco. In the final, it was his introduction that sparked France's comeback against Argentina.
Towards the end of extra time of the thrilling final, Muani had a chance to heroically win the game for France after Dayot Upamecano put him through on goal with a brilliant pass.
The Frankfurt goalscorer however could not guide the ball past Emiliano Martinez who quickly rushed out of his goal to intervene.

Bayern Munich have expressed their interest in Muani to the player's entourage.
United have an advantage over the Bundesliga giants in that unlike the Red Devils, the Bavarians are yet to make an offer or even make the consideration for doing so.
Bayern would prefer to make a move for Muani over the summer, something which aligns with Frankfurt's wishes, who are keen to hold on to the player until then.

Match: Manchester United vs Athletic Club Bilbao LIVE, Europa League semi-final, second leg
FC Bayern Munich are the most successful team in Bundesliga history with 34 German Championship titles. Here are the teams with most Bundesliga titles.
The Bundesliga is the top-division tournament in German football. The competition was founded in 1962, and the first season began in 1963. The Bundesliga replaced the German national championship, which was the first tournament in German football history. And since then only one club has dominated with most Bundesliga titles.
The German national championship, which was founded in 1903 and ran for 60 years, was a knockout competition contested between winners of each of the country's top regional leagues.
The founding member teams of the Bundesliga are 1860 Munich, Cologne, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Braunschweig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hertha Berlin, Kaiserslautern, Karlsruhe, Preußen Münster, MSV Duisburg, Nuremberg, Saarbrücken, Schalke, Vfb Stuttgart and Werder Bremen.
Bayer Leverkusen became the 13th team to win the Bundesliga title in the 2023-24 season.
Besides the Bundesliga, which operated in West Germany, the DDR-Oberliga was the top-level football league in Soviet-controlled East Germany. Following the reunification of Germany, the Bundesliga became the national league of the country.
The Bundesliga started as a 16-team tournament but would soon expand to 18 teams from 1965.
In a one-off event, the league played the 1991-92 season with 20 teams following the reunification, but would return to its 18-team format in the following campaign.
There have been 13 different winners of the Bundesliga since its inception in 1963.
FC Koln, or FC Cologne in English, won the first-ever Bundesliga season in 1963-64. The Billy Goats maintained a six-point advantage over second-placed Meidericher SV (39) and scored in each of the 30 league games played in the inaugural edition.
Karl-Heinz Thielen (16 goals) and Christian Müller (15 goals) finished as the top scorers for the team in the championship-winning season.
Who has won the most Bundesliga titles?
Bayern Munich lead the Bundesliga winners list with 34 titles. The Bavarians won their maiden Meisterschale in the 1968-69 season, with an eight-point cushion and legendary forward Gerd Muller contributing 30 goals. They are the most dominant German team and have won the most Bundesliga titles.
The Bavarians recently claimed the Bundesliga 2024-25 title with two games to go in the season. In doing so, Bayern have now won the German championship a record 12 times in the last 13 seasons. Their incredible run began in 2012-13 under the management of Jupp Heynckes, which was broken in the 2023-24 season by Bayer Leverkusen.
Top Five Teams with the Most Bundesliga titles till 2023
1. Bayern Munich - 34 titles
Bayern Munich have won 34 Bundesliga titles | Image: Bundesliga
Bayern Munich are at the top of the list as they are the all-time Bundesliga title winners with 34 titles to their name. They won the 2024-25 season with two games to go in the season.
Bayern Munich also holds the record for most second-place finishes in the top German league, having done that ten times between 1969 and 2012.
There is no doubt that they are the most dominant force in Germany and one of the most historic clubs in the history of World Football. The Bavarians have also won 20 DFB-Pokal trophies and 6 Champions League titles.
Borussia Dortmund have won five Bundesliga titles | Image: X
Borussia Dortmund, a 113-year-old German club, is second on the list of clubs with the most Bundesliga titles.
After Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund have won the most Bundesliga titles and have also finished second the most times in the German league.
In the pre-Bundesliga days, ‘die Schwarzgelben’ lifted three league titles – two more than Bayern.
There has always been a soft spot for Dortmund in every football fan's heart, except the fans of Bayern.
In the 2022-23 season, they were the favourites to win the titles but bottled it on the last day. Dortmund won their last Bundesliga title under Jurgen Klopp in the 2011-12 season.
Titles by years: 1994–1995; 1995–1996; 2001–2002; 2010–11; and 2011–12
3. Borussia Monchengladbach - 5 Titles
Borussia Monchengladbach have won 5 Bundesliga titles | Image: Bundesliga
Borussia Mönchengladbach holds the third place on the list, and they have won the same number of Bundesliga titles as Borussia Dortmund.
They have finished second less as compared to Dortmund, and that's the reason why they are placed third.
Three of their five Bundesliga championships were consecutive. They won their last league title in the 1976-77 season under Udo Lattek. Monchengladbach have only ever been demoted to the Bundesliga 2 twice, in 1999 and 2007.
Titles by years: 1969–70, 1970–71, 1974–75, 1975–76, and 1976–77

Werder Bremen have finished second seven times in the Bundesliga and have won 4 titles.
They won their last league title in the 2003-04 season under Thomas Schaaf with 74 points, and he is the longest-serving manager (14 years) of Bremen.

Titles by years: 1964–65, 1987–88, 1992–93, 2003–04
5. Hamburger SV - 3 Titles
HSV have won three Bundesliga titles | Image: X
Hamburger SV comes fifth in this list with 3 Bundesliga titles to their name.
Their last league title came in the 1982-83 season under Ernst Happel, who won his second title with the club.
HSV have the record in German football of having won the most regional titles, having won 31 regional titles. But the regional titles do not count as a trophy or even as a title itself.
Until the 2017–18 season, HSV were the only club to have played continuously in the Bundesliga since its foundation.
