Manchester United-linked Kingsley Coman’s future remains up in the air despite Bayern Munich failing to offload the Frenchman to Saudi Arabia this summer.
The 28-year-old winger was the subject of serious interest from Al-Hilal in the prior window. However, the footballer’s refusal to make way to the Saudi Pro League meant that Jorge Jesus’ side was forced to move on to alternative targets.
That said, it doesn’t necessarily put to bed the prospect of a departure from Munich in the near future. Indeed, Premier League interest in the £33.7-42.1m (according to Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth, via PSG Talk) player could yet materialise in the winter window.

A seriously injury-hit 2023/24 campaign – in which Coman missed 16 top-flight games owing to an adductor injury, a knee medial ligament tear and a torn muscle fibre – will have certainly dented the confidence of elite outfits as far as a potential transfer is concerned.
It would, nonetheless, be completely foolish to rule out a player of the No.11’s obvious quality. The only question that remains is who in the Premier League would bite.
Liverpool, one might reasonably imagine, will likely steer clear given their remarkable level of depth on the left flank (owing to the availability of Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and new signing Federico…
