Kingsley Koman is now on Manchester City's radar
Manchester City are reportedly eyeing a move for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, whose lucrative €20 million annual salary has made him a prime target for top European clubs.
According to Bild, Pep Guardiola’s City are considering an approach for the French international, who has been an integral part of Bayern’s squad since his permanent transfer from Juventus in 2017.
Coman, 28, has been a key figure at Bayern, contributing 129 goals in 294 appearances.
However, injuries have limited his availability in recent seasons, and with Bayern Munich looking to offload players following the arrival of Michael Olise, Coman has become available.
The German champions are open to both permanent and loan deals for the winger, provided his substantial wage demands are met.
Manchester City, known for their deep pockets and willingness to invest in high-profile talent, are seen as strong contenders for Coman’s signature.
Guardiola, a long-time admirer of Coman, is reportedly interested in bringing him to the Premier League on a season-long loan.
The club’s financial capability allows them to absorb a significant portion of Coman’s salary, giving them an advantage in negotiations.
Coman has already turned down an offer from Fenerbahce and is being courted by other major European clubs, including Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite these interests, Manchester City’s potential move could be bolstered by Guardiola’s strategic vision and the team’s need for additional attacking options.
City’s pursuit of Coman remains in the early stages, but their serious intent is evident.
Should a deal materialize, it would add a significant attacking threat to City’s already formidable squad.
