Kingsley Coman will not decide on his future with Bayern Munich until after the end of the current season amid reported transfer interest from Liverpool, via quotes by Sky Germany.
The Frenchman feels he has several options available, but has not shut the door to staying in Bavaria long-term. His priority for the coming months is to give his all to help Der FCB to another Bundesliga and performing at his best before mulling over any offers on the table.
Coman has scored four goals and provided one assist over 14 outings in all competitions so far this season. His latest strike helped Julian Nagelsmann’s Allianz Arena natives to a 3-2 win away to rivals Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Nagelsmann has returned Coman to an important role in the Bayern squad after the winger underwent heart surgery in September. He has started four of their last five league games.
But Coman’s long-term future at Bayern Munich is uncertain as his £132k-a-week contact ends in 2023. Sport1 reported in June Der FCB made him an offer to renew worth €13m-a-year (£212k-a/w), but the forward turned the deal down amid interest from Merseyside.
However, Bild journalist Christian Falk noted the Allianz hierarchy wanted €90m (£76m) to sell him during the summer. A price that likely kept the Anfield outfit out of the market.
Liverpool have retained an interest in a transfer for Coman, given his contract situation at Bayern Munich. Le10 Sport added in September that the Reds could make his dreams real by offering a route to England. But Manchester City were also noted as a possible suitor.
Bayern Munich star Coman keeping options open amid Liverpool interest
Coman will keep his options open until next summer, when Liverpool could possibly revive their interest in a transfer for the Bayern Munich winger and face a lesser asking price.
“At the moment, I just want to finish the season and give my best,” Coman said. “We’ll see after that, but that’s still a bit off.
“We have had talks, of course. The club will keep talking to my agent and maybe we will have some news soon.
“FC Bayern is a top club, one of the largest in Germany and the world. I’m very grateful for everything that has been done for me.”
