There were no arrivals in the first team at Bayern Munich during the winter transfer window. The Bavarian club still managed to make it a successful window by securing the future of one of the most devastating wingers in the world.
Kingsley Coman reached an agreement with Rekordmeister in January to extend his contract until 2027. He currently has the longest contract in the Bundesliga. Die Roten managed to be flexible with wages and came up with an offer that was perfect for the French winger.
Coman’s contract extension was a big boost for Die Roten’s long-term plans since the winger is entering the peak years of his career. There has been significant improvement in Coman’s productivity and decision-making in the final third over the last two years. He has also developed the knack of scoring goals in big games.
Julian Nagelsmann reportedly played a big role in the contract extension of Coman. These reports have now been confirmed by the French international. While talking to Sport1 this week, Kingsley Coman praised Naglesmann’s methods at Die Roten. The former Juventus winger also insisted that Nagelsmann’s trust in him played a big role in the contract extension.
"“Trust – that’s all! When you have faith, you feel good. He told me from the start that he supported me, that I was very important to him and the team and that he would like to keep me. He’s a coach who talks a lot with his players, not just me. I like him and his way of thinking about football. That made my decision easier.”"
Coman’s contract extension will surely have a positive impact on Die Roten’s summer transfer plans. The quick developments regarding his extension came as a surprise for fans since talks broke down last summer due to wage demands. Numerous reports were suggesting that Coman will be sold in the summer.
The French international’s fitness record has improved drastically in the last two seasons. A good fitness record has eventually helped him to get a sustained run in the starting XI and polish the rough edges of his game. Kingsley Coman still has a few more levels to go up, so his contract extension is a very exciting prospect for the Bavarian faithful.
The next target for Rekordmeister in the department of forwards will be to extend contracts of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, and Serge Gnabry. The Bavarian club has reportedly made Lewandowski’s contract renewal their top priority for now.
Meanwhile, Thomas Muller remains relaxed about his contract situation. The experienced German forward will definitely stay in Bavaria if a new contract is offered. On the other hand, things have moved very slowly in negotiations with Serge Gnabry. If Bayern manages to extend contracts of these three forwards, then the club is set for long-term and medium-term success.
