Transfer News: Manchester United will need to pay €100m to land Kingsley Coman

According to transfer news from Fussball Transfers (h/t Football 365), Manchester United will need to fork out €100m in order to sign Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman this summer.

The 25-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Germans in recent seasons. He currently has two years left on his deal at the Allianz Arena.

While Bayern is in talks regarding a new contract, they have baulked at Coman’s wage demands. The Frenchman is seeking a new deal that will fetch him around €16-17m a year.

According to the Mirror, Coman’s demands are inspired by Leroy Sane’s massive wages. The German winger is on an €18m wage package following his move from Manchester City. Given that Coman has outperformed Sane, his demands may not be too undeserved.

Despite his young age, Coman isn’t just an experienced winger but also a vastly successful one. In fact, Coman has been a part of a side that has won the league ever since he made his first-team bow in 2013. This includes wins with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and now Bayern Munich.

According to the Sport1 journalist Florian Plattenberg (h/t The Sun), United had identified Coman as a cheaper alternative to Jadon Sancho. With Bayern’s asking price now clear, we can successfully steer clear of that theory.

Sancho is now the cheaper option with United already having made much progress regarding a potential deal. It is fair to put any rumours concerning Coman on ice for the time being.

A versatile winger who can be an overwhelming force on his day, Coman is a truly world-class player. While Bayern could lower their asking price the longer the contract stalemate drags on, they hold the aces this summer.

Given that we are close to Sancho, it is very difficult to see us go equally big on Coman. At least for the time being, it is difficult to see him moving to Old Trafford this summer.
