Kingsley Coman looks set to begin the 2024/25 Bundesliga campaign with Bayern Munich after dismissing interest from Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe.
Christian Falk reports that the Bavarian giants are, nonetheless, ‘keeping an eye’ on the situation in the event of a potential exit.
The 28-year-old and Leon Goretzka are two players the club is understood to be observing in this regard.
“The other name is Kingsley Coman [who Bayern are keeping an eye on in case of a potential exit]. There are still talks,” the BILD reporter wrote in his Fact Files column with CaughtOffside.

This could all be about to change after the Istanbul-based side launched a summer transfer window offensive that saw them land the likes of Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri and Atletico Madrid’s Caglar Soyuncu.
Coman must be used sparingly
A litany of injury issues affecting Coman over the last three seasons should be more than suggestive of the workload Vincent Kompany and Co. must subject the French international to in 2024/25.
