The Frenchman is an important member of Hansi Flick’s Bayern side that won the treble last season. Coman scored the decisive goal in the Champions League final against PSG.
His exploits have also seen him garner the attention of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Coman is aware of interest from the Manchester giants and admits he is flattered by it.
“It’s good to know that good teams are interested in me, it gives me additional confidence.”
The French winger has enjoyed an excellent season so far at the Allianz Arena. He has so far made 15 appearances, scoring five goals and assisting nine. (h/t Transfermarkt)
Despite Bayern bringing in Leroy Sane in the summer, Coman continues to hold his own in the Bavarian’s starting XI. Despite interest from the likes of United, he remains committed to Die Roten.
“I have a contract here until 2023, I’m just thinking of Bavaria. It’s all good, I’m happy.”
He believes Bayern have the potential to build a dynasty and is keen to be a part of the squad that does just that.

Coman has always been a talented player who has often been plagued by injuries. While signing him is not without its risks, there is vast potential in him to be unearthed.
The Frenchman has won league titles in his first nine seasons at PSG, Juventus, and Bayern. Signing him in January would have been a good omen given our title credentials this season. Unfortunately, it would appear that we will have to wait.
