Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman has emerged as a potential late transfer target for Barcelona, with the French winger reportedly prioritizing a move away from the Bundesliga before the transfer window closes, Soccernet.football reports.
Barcelona, in need of reinforcements on the left wing, are closely monitoring the situation as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Barcelona’s recent 1-0 victory over Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium highlighted the need for a dynamic presence on the left flank, with Ferran Torres struggling to make an impact.
Torres’ inability to complete a single dribble underscored the importance of securing a quality winger, a position that Barcelona had hoped to fill with Nico Williams.
However, with Williams now out of reach, attention has shifted to Coman, who could be a viable alternative.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Coman is a player to watch as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
The 27-year-old is reportedly open to a move, with Paris Saint-Germain, Premier League clubs, and Barcelona all expressing interest.
However, the financial aspects of the deal, particularly Coman’s substantial salary at Bayern Munich, present a significant challenge for the Catalan club.
Barcelona have already made initial contacts regarding a potential move for Coman, but they are also exploring other options. Coman’s familiarity with Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, who previously managed him at Bayern, could play a crucial role in the decision-making process.
While Coman’s attacking ability is undeniable, his injury-prone history raises concerns. Barcelona, plagued by injuries in recent seasons, may be wary of bringing in a player with a similar track record.
Despite these concerns, Coman’s talent and experience make him an intriguing option as Barcelona looks to finalise their summer signings.
