The departure of Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich should be finalized by a transfer to Al-Nassr for 30 million euros, the Germans who initially planned to block the sale.
The departure of the French international Coman for Saudi Arabia now seems to materialize. Following the Kicker's announcement of a disagreement from the management of Bayern Munich on the price conditions allegedly negotiated by the sports director Max Eberl, the agreement would now be imminent.
Coman will sign a three-year contract with Al-Nassr.
The article claimed that there was no final agreement between the German champion and Al-Nassr, the Cristiano Ronaldo club. Thursday morning, however, a new development appeared. According to the expert in transfers Fabrizio Romano, the leaders of Bayern approved the sale of Coman. The striker should go to Al-Nassr today to finalize the transfer. He will sign a three -year contract, for an amount of less than 30 million euros (26 million pounds sterling / 35 million dollars). Initially, these figures did not meet the expectations of the management of Bayern.
Bayern first resisted a reduced price sale.
Al-Nassr is undoubtedly one of the strongest clubs financially in the world. This is why, according to the report, the management of Bayern hoped to obtain much greater funds, especially since 75 million euros (65 million pounds sterling/87 million dollars) were paid to Liverpool for Luis Diaz, who has only eight months less than Coman. In addition, the Frenchman was under contract with the Munich club until 2027.
In addition, the workforce currently offers few offensive options. After the departures of Leroy Sané in Galatasaray and Thomas Müller in MLS, the transfer of Coman would leave the coach Vincent Kompany that Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, Lennart Karl and Díaz available in the two winger. Due to the injuries of Jamal Musiala, whose return is unlikely before the end of the first half of the season, and young Paul Wanner, Olise is currently wanted in the center.
Bayern should therefore invest to recruit at least one additional attacker. Negotiations with Stuttgart concerning Nick Woltemade have still not progressed, three other options are being studied.
First of all, the interest in Malick Fofana (Lyon) has resurfaced. Then, Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea) remains a subject of discussion at Sabener Strasse. In addition, Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig) is still under discussion, although his transfer to the Blues is not yet finalized. No agreement was found on its transfer compensation either.
In any event, it is clear that Bayern should pay more than the compensation perceived for Coman in order to acquire Woltemade, Nkunku or Simons.
