Premier League Duo Launch Bids to Steal On-Loan Juve Star Kingsley Coman Away From Bayern Munich

Published on: 12 March 2017

French media outlet GFFN havereportedthat Chelsea have made a€60m offer for winger Kingsley Coman, who is coming to the end of his two-year loan spell with Bayern Munich.


The 20-year-old, who is on-loan from Serie A's Juventus, is already set to remain with his current Bundesliga side at the end of the season, with the clubs already agreeing a £18m deal - which can still be called off if Coman decides that he would rather move elsewhere.

With the two mainclubs involved - Chelsea and Bayern -both on target to win their respective league titles and bothvying for the services of Coman, the Frenchman is spoilt for choice. The decision was recently made even harder though, via a bid of€50m from Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.


As all four sides are more or less on par in terms of current European power, with Bayern probably just about edging it, the decision as to where he would like to live and which manager he would like to develop under could be the deciding factors for the winger - who was signed by Guardiola during his time with the Munich outfit.

With Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane on their books, City already have one of the most exciting, young and promising attacks in world football - which would become even more terrifying by the acquisition of Coman if they are able to pull off a deal.


Chelsea, on the other hand, tend to only use the same 13 players on their way to the Premier League title but could choose to use Coman in place of Pedro and Willian alongside Diego Costa and Eden Hazard.

At Bayern Munich, Coman is one of the least used attacking options this season; receiving only 373 minutes worth of league playing time, compared to Arjen Robben's 1,141, Douglas Costa's 1,112 and Franck Ribery's 759.


Given this info, perhaps the ability to provide the youngster with more playing time and the subsequent opportunity to develop further was the main motivationbehind the two Premier League clubs to attempt amove for the player.
