Kingsley Coman's future looks increasingly distant from Bayern Munich. The 28-year-old winger, one of the alternatives to Nico Williams managed by FC Barcelona, would be in Paris Saint-Germain's sights to cover the loss of Kylian Mbappé
Paris Saint-Germain seems to be seriously going after one of the extremes on FC Barcelona's radar. The team led by Luis Enrique remains very attentive to the future of Kingsley Coman, one of the players on the exit ramp for Bayern Munich. The lack of prominence of the French international last season, together with the injuries that have reduced his performance in the last two years, seem to open the door to the 'MVP' of the 2020 Champions League final (he scored the title goal).
'Lucho' has Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcolá and Ousmane Dembélé himself to cover the 'gap' left by Kylian Mbappé on the left. However, the Asturian does not rule out incorporating another winger and the 28-year-old footballer would fit very well into his scheme. According to the latest information, PSG has already started contacts with the Bavarian board, without significant progress, but with the Munich team being willing to negotiate. In principle, Bayern expects to earn a minimum of 40 million euros for the transfer, since the Frenchman has a contract until 2027.
Barça would only go for Coman after a "no" from Nico Williams
Unlike PSG, Barça does not consider Coman as a priority option. On the contrary, the only scenario in which the culés would fully enter the 'race' for the French international would be if they definitively ruled out the signing of Nico Williams, an operation that, for the moment, remains open. The Barça board hopes to receive a concrete response from the Pamplona player this week, even before the start of LaLiga.
For Barça, the Basque winger's doubts about whether or not to leave Athletic this summer are valid, but once the club has enough salary margin to sign him, the idea is either to pay the 58 million euros of his clause. to the Bilbao team, or immediately go for another striker. Three weeks before the market closes, the Catalans are clear that they should not waste time, since alternatives like Coman himself will hardly be available until the last days of the transfer window.
