Not a top transfer target: Coman track to FC Barcelona is not hot

With the signing of Vincent Kompany, FC Bayern’s squad planning is also gathering pace. Several players could leave the German record champions next summer – including Kingsley Coman. However, a move to FC Barcelona does not appear to be on the cards.

Rumours have recently been doing the rounds that former Bayern coach Hansi Flick is very interested in working with Kingsley Coman again. The Frenchman is no longer uncontroversial at Bayern – particularly due to his susceptibility to injury.

However, according to information from Sky, Coman is not currently a top transfer target for Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona. This is mainly due to the financial framework conditions of a possible transfer. On the one hand, Bayern are said to be asking between 50 and 60 million for the 27-year-old, while on the other, Coman earns more than 17 million gross per year in Munich.

Of course, the Catalans have not been unaware of the winger’s high susceptibility to injury. During his time at FC Bayern, Coman missed more than ten competitive matches due to injury in six of nine seasons. Last season alone, he missed 21 games.

Coman’s departure still possible

According to Sky, the Bayern bosses are definitely willing to talk if a club expresses interest in Coman. According to the report, he is among the candidates for sale at Säbener Straße. Coman himself is also said to be able to imagine leaving the Bavarian capital.

Head of Sport Max Eberl recently refused to talk about an internal list of players to be dropped, but made it clear that there are some players „who could have a harder time with us.“ Together with Christoph Freund, he has „not only pushed ahead with the search for a coach in recent weeks“, but also „talked intensively about our squad“, the 50-year-old revealed.

Duringthe presentation of Vincent Kompany, Eberl also confirmed that the new Bayern coach is involved in the squad planning. And the Belgian apparently already has concrete ideas about what his team could look like in the future. Overall, when it comes to squad planning, „we are perhaps a bit further along than we think“, said Eberl
