Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman is close to joining Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr in the summer transfer window.
Despite the arrival of Luis Diaz from Liverpool, Bayern are still looking to bolster their forward department and Coman’s departure would open up the space for a new arrival.
Coman made history by becoming the first goalscorer in the Club World Cup, and it felt like he would stay at the club beyond the summer.
Kingley Coman: Exit only a matter of time
Vincent Kompany earlier hinted that he would be willing to keep Coman, who has won nine Bundesliga titles with the German side.
He previously said: “That’s not a topic I’m concerned with at the moment.
“When we talk about his quality, it’s important not to forget that he scores important goals. Sometimes you just look at the volume: 20 goals or 15 goals? But he has scored important goals in the history of this club.”
However, in recent weeks, Coman’s situation has changed.
Christian Falk told CFBayern that the agreement between Bayern and Al-Nassr for the transfer of Coman is close to completion.
The Saudi Pro League club are offering a fee of around €30m including add-ons. They have reached an agreement with Coman, who will sign a deal until 2028.
We previously reported that talks were held at an advanced stage, where Al-Nassr were preparing a bid in the region of €30m [£26m] for the French winger.
Who could replace Kingsley Coman?
It will be interesting to see if Bayern sign a new winger to replace him.
Chelsea winger Christopher Nkunku could be of interest. Bayern wanted to sign him during the January window but they failed in their attempt.
He has now become surplus to requirements at Chelsea, and expected to be sold.
VfB Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade is another being targeted by the club.
