Bayern Munich coy on Kingsley Coman future amid Arsenal, Al Hilal interest
By Tushar Bahl
Bayern Munich boss Max Eberl has given an update on Kingsley Coman's future amid reports linking the winger with a transfer to Al Hilal, Arsenal, and FC Barcelona.
Kingsley Coman is one Bayern Munich player who could leave the club before the transfer window closes. While his future remains uncertain, the likes of Al Hilal, Arsenal, and FC Barcelona are in the hunt for his signature. And Max Eberl has now given an update on what the Frenchman's plans might look like.
"He's under contract and of course will be in the squad if he's still here. The transfer window in other leagues will still be open for longer. But there's no big indication that we'll be going into the season with a much-changed squad," Eberl said during Friday's press conference.
Kingsley Coman reluctant to make Al Hilal switch
Reports have claimed in recent days that Bayern Munich already have an agreement in place with Al Hilal over a transfer fee for Coman. However, the winger is reluctant about the prospect of moving to Saudi Arabia and is waiting to see if top European clubs decide to submit offers for him.
Arsenal are said to be mulling a late move for the 28 year old, and FC Barcelona have also been credited with an interest in his signature.
It will be interesting to see what Coman decides to do. He could also yet stay at Bayern Munich, with three years left on his current contract.
Bayern Munich are keen to part ways with Coman as he has fallen down the pecking order in attack. The former PSG and Juventus forward joined Bayern in 2015 and has 64 goals and 66 assists to his name in 296 appearances for the club.
