FC Barcelona is close to losing the other low-cost winger on its agenda

FC Barcelona are starting to run out of options for the left wing. After Liverpool took the lead in the 'race' for Federico Chiesa, now it is Kingsley Coman who would be one step away from slipping through the hands of the Blaugrana club. The Frenchman was, along with the Juventus winger, one of the 'low cost' alternatives for the Catalan team to reinforce the left side of the forward line, but Saudi Arabia has put the 'direct' in the last hours and is close to securing his services.

This has been reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who has assured that Neymar Jr.'s Al-Hilal would be the club that would be one step away from incorporating the French attacker into its ranks. The Saudi team has already made a 'stratospheric' offer to Bayern Munich for the player and the Bavarians have given the go-ahead, so the ball would be in the player's court, who could be tempted by the millions of the Asians.

In addition, the Premier League is also waiting to see what happens with Coman, with Manchester City being one of the clubs most interested in signing the former Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus player. The Allianz Arena offices are looking to get rid of the player as soon as possible, so the proposals received from England and the Arabian Peninsula seriously threaten the possibility of the player joining Hansi Flick's squad.

Despite this, it will be Kingsley himself who makes the final decision on his future. According to Romano, the striker has not yet determined the next step in his career, and he does not even rule out the possibility of continuing under Vincent Kompany at the Allianz Arena next season. However, now that the final stretch of the transfer market is underway, his fate will be known in the next few days, and Barça is on the lookout.

Barça's list is reduced

Thus, the Catalan club's casting list of wingers is beginning to run out of candidates. Chiesa's arrival at Anfield Road is practically a fact after the player gave the 'OK' to Liverpool's offer, while the million-dollar proposals from Saudi Arabia and the Premier League could tempt Coman, who will define his future in the next few days. The Catalans hope to close the deal with Nike as soon as possible, so if they manage to do so, they could go for a 'weight' name like Rafael Leao. Otherwise, Flick will have to opt for the 'house' options, with Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres being the candidates to occupy the position.
