Kingsley Coman Loan Offer to Barcelona: A Potential Boost for Catalan Giants
Barcelona could be set for a potential transfer windfall as Bayern Munich have reportedly offered to loan winger Kingsley Coman for the 2024/25 season.
The Catalan club has been actively pursuing Spain international Nico Williams from Athletic Club, but the Basque side’s steadfast stance on their young star has cast doubt on a potential deal. With a need for reinforcement on the left wing, Coman emerges as a tantalizing alternative.
The Catalan giants could do with another left winger in their squad. Loanee Joao Felix played there regularly during the 2023/24 campaign, while Raphinha and Ferran Torres also filled in. Still, SPORT now claims Barca could take advantage of Coman being redundant to requirements under new manager Vincent Kompany in Bavaria.
The recent arrival of Michael Olis from Crystal Palace could damage the 28-year-old’s game-time prospects and the chance of reuniting with former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick at Barca could appeal to him.
However, Sky Germany add Barca have a player registration problem as they are currently unable to add any new stars to their roster after agreeing a deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo.
Bayern Munich have no firm offers for Coman yet, but former club Paris Saint-Germain are said to be monitoring the situation.
Barca still hopes to seal a deal with Athletic Club for Nico Williams, with president Joan Laporta reportedly refusing to accept defeat in their pursuit of the UEFA Euro 2024 star.
Coman played a big part in Bayern’s 2020 treble, winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, DFL-Supercup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. It was his goal in the UEFA Champions League final that helped the German giants beat PSG during Flick’s time at Bayern.
The winger scored 5 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions last season, but his run of 11 consecutive league titles ended as Bayer Leverkusen cruised to Bundesliga glory under Xabi Alonso.
