Football News Update: Manchester City Interested in Signing Bayern Munich Winger Kingsley Coman on Loan
In the latest football news, Premier League champions Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, but only on a loan deal with a buy option.
Coman, who has 64 goals and 68 assists in 320 senior club appearances, has won an impressive 12 league titles in the past 13 years. The one season he failed to win a league title was 2023/24 with Bayern Munich, which some attribute to the “cursed ways” of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.
The Frenchman’s long-term future at Bayern Munich is in doubt, with Barcelona also being linked to the player. It has been reported that the Bundesliga champions are open to letting Coman leave on loan, though they are likely to negotiate a buy option in any deal.
Coman could be an ideal alternative for Barcelona, who are targeting Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams as one of their top summer targets, but the Spanish club is expected to cost north of £50 million.
As for Manchester City, the Premier League champions are said to have Coman “in their sights” as they look to potentially replace Julian Alvarez, who is expected to join Atletico Madrid for around 95 million euros. City manager Pep Guardiola has not ruled out signing a replacement for the Argentine forward.
The report suggests that while City are interested in Coman, they do not want to sign him on a permanent basis and are only willing to pursue a loan deal with a buy option. This could be a suitable option for the player, as Barcelona also appear to be exploring a similar arrangement due to their financial constraints.
The upcoming 2024/25 season is set to be an exciting one for football fans, with the UEFA Euro 2024, the FIFA World Cup, and the UEFA Champions League all taking place. Clubs like Manchester City and Barcelona will be looking to strengthen their squads to compete on multiple fronts, and the potential arrival of Kingsley Coman could be a significant boost for whichever team secures his services.
