Bayern Munich: Kingsley Coman could do a u-turn in contract talks
The first few months of 2022 are very crucial for Bayern Munich in terms of their long-term squad planning. The defending Bundesliga champions are holding talks regarding a contract renewal. Depending on the outcome of these talks, Die Roten’s priorities in the summer transfer window could change.
Kingsley Coman is the key attacking player that is currently back on the negotiations table with Die Roten. The Bavarian club re-opened talks with the winger after reaching an impasse with him due to the excessive wage demands of the French international.
The reports in the German media over the past few weeks have suggested that wages remain the sticking point between two parties. However, the latest update from France is very promising for fans that want Coman to stay in Bavaria.
According to Telefoot, Kingsley Coman had a change of heart about his future, and he is open to extending his stay in Bavaria. During the last summer transfer window, it was widely reported that Coman was looking to leave Die Roten after talks for a new deal broke down. The update from Telefoot is significant since Coman’s desire to stay could eventually lead to a breakthrough in contract negotiations.
Coman has been a key player for Rekordmeister in the past couple of seasons. After persistent injury problems, the French winger has finally managed to play regularly in the last two years. Apart from adequate playing time, Coman has also significantly improved his decision-making in the final third.
Die Roten will be eager to tie Coman down on a long-term deal. Even though they want Coman to stay, they will not compromise the wage structure to extend his contract. His desire to play for the club can definitely help in bridging the distance between two parties.
Nevertheless, the next couple of months should give a good picture of the situation. If Coman doesn’t end up signing a new deal, then Rekordmeister will definitely cash in next summer. With the finances of the club severely affected due to pandemic, they cannot afford to lose a top-class forward for nothing in 2023.

Apart from Kingsley Coman, Die Roten is also holding talks with Serge Gnabry and Niklas Sule regarding new contracts. Gnabry will most likely put pen to paper, but the latest developments reported by German media suggest that Sule may end up leaving on a free transfer in the summer transfer window. Corentin Tolisso is also set to leave Bavaria for nothing at the end of the current campaign.
