FC Barcelona keeps its sights set on several wingers as an alternative to Nico Williams. At the moment, one of the most feasible options is Kingsley Coman, for whom Bayern Munich can accept a loan
The FC Barcelona board remains very attentive to the future of Kingsley Coman. The French international is one of the alternatives to Nico Williams most valued by the club both in sporting and economic terms, taking advantage of the position of a Bayern Munich willing to negotiate downwards to facilitate his departure. The one from Paris has a contract until 2027, but Vincent Kompany does not trust him.
One of the clubs that sounded the loudest as a possible destination for the Frenchman was Paris Saint-Germain. However, Luis Enrique's men opted for the Désiré Doué, a signing that closes the doors to Coman who, according to the latest information, prioritizes returning to his country if he leaves the Bavarian team. For the 28-year-old winger, a loan seems the most appropriate way to ensure his departure, although Bayern would prefer to sell him for an amount close to 50 million euros.
Barça will make a decision on which winger to sign this week
With two weeks to go before the closing of the summer market, Barça still maintains a minimal hope of signing Nico Williams, although everything indicates that the Basque will choose to stay at Athletic for another year. In that sense, the visit of the Bilbao team to Montjuïc next Saturday will be decisive in defining the future of the team from Pamplona, which is why the Barça board is clear that this week they must define who to sign to reinforce their attack.
If the youngest of the Williams lands on Friday in Catalonia still as an Athletic player, everything will be over with respect to the 'soap opera of the summer'. In addition to Coman, the culés have Jadon Sancho among their options. The culés have Jadon Sancho among their options, who has no place at Manchester United and could also arrive on loan. With Luis Díaz ruled out, the club has fewer reliable alternatives in terms of left-footed wingers. If nothing is finalized, the club would prioritize going for a defensive pivot before August 30.
