In a recent tweet, Bild’s Christian Falk reported that Manchester United have been told to pay €90m for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman this summer. However, it is ‘unrealistic’ that the Bavarian giants would sell him this summer despite both Man United and Liverpool showing interest in landing him during this summer transfer period (via Bild’s Christian Falk).
Message from Munich to Liverpool and United: Bayern want a transfer fee of minimum €90 Million for Kingsley Coman. Also the player thinks this is unrealistic for this Summer @BILD_Sport

Coman’s Impressive Run Of Form At The Allianz Arena Last Season
It was another outstanding campaign for the 25-year-old in Munich as he managed to be productive with his contributions for Bayern in the final third. Coman featured in 39 matches for the Bavarian giants last season, scoring eight goals and earning 15 assists in the process across all fronts.
The France international gave a good account of himself in Europe based on his average of 2.4 shots, 1.6 key passes, 1.1 crosses and 2.6 dribbles per game in the UEFA Champions League. He also took care of the ball well when distributing it in the opposition half after completing 82.6% of his attempted passes in European football (stats via whoscored).
Coman is currently playing at the top of his game, so he will make an instant impact at Old Trafford if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can find a way to bring him on board in this off-season. He will undoubtedly bolster Man United’s attacking options considerably ahead of the new campaign.
Should The Red Devils Launch A Move For Coman This Summer?
Coman boasts excellent pace and can complete some eye-catching dribbles with the ball out on the wide areas. He excels at driving to the byline to whip in a few inviting crosses into the opponent’s penalty box. The Frenchman has got the vision to engineer a few meaningful openings for his teammates up top. He has even contributed by scoring some vital goals for Bayern in the 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign.
An accomplished wide player of Coman’s quality will be a massive coup for the Red Devils even if they have to pay €90m to acquire his services this summer. He is already good enough to be an immediate starter at the Theatre of Dreams and will add plenty of goals and creativity to Solskjaer’s attack.
At 25, Coman is only getting started and has his best years ahead of him, so Man United can expect to make the most out of his services in the coming seasons if they can find a way to convince Bayern Munich to part ways with their prized asset.
A winger of Coman’s skillset and winning mindset could help Solskjaer bring some success back to Old Trafford in the years to come. Therefore, the Mancunian outfit should consider launching a big-money move to recruit the French sensation during this summer transfer window.
