While Bayern Munich refines its preparation a few hours before the European clash against Arsenal, in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, the crisis is deepening a little more each day internally. If the German coach, Thomas Tuchel, will finish the season well on the Bavarian bench before packing up this summer, Bayern can still hope to avoid the white season by going to the end of the competition in the Champions League because the Bundesliga title is almost in the pocket of Bayer Leverkusen, while the German Cup is no longer relevant since the resounding elimination against the modest club of Saarbrücken (German D3) in the 2nd round. It is therefore time for changes and not only in the technical staff. Indeed, according to information from the German newspaper BILDthe leaders of Bayern, including the new sporting director, Christoph Freund (46), decided that it was necessary to make a clean sweep of the past by imposing several changes.
The midfield position must be redone and two targets are currently favored: Martín Zubimendi from Real Sociedad (25 years old) and Amadou Onana from Everton (22 years old). Two players who are estimated at around 50/60 million euros. In order to raise funds for the next transfer window, Bavarian officials would be ready to get rid of one of its four current executives. If Leon Goretzka (29 years old) and Joshua Kimmich (29 years old) could be put up for sale due to their hesitation to extend and their supposed lack of fundamental commitment to the club, the French international, Kingsley Coman, is not not entirely sure whether to postpone Bayern's red jersey until next season. The former Juventus and PSG player is not against the idea of being tempted by a new adventure at 27. As a result, the Bavarian management has set a price which may appear surprising for a player who is too often injured: 70 million euros.
Mermaids in Spain!
Always according to the indiscretions of BILD, Kingsley Coman, who has already set foot on the pitches of Ligue 1, Serie A and the Bundesliga, would prioritize a departure to England. But at this time, it is the Spanish clubs who have shown interest. If a club came to offer a transfer fee of around 70 million euros, Bayern would be ready to discuss. An amount which really questions given the physical form of the French international who is coming out of a new major injury to the internal ligament of the left knee. This season, Kingsley Coman scored 5 goals and delivered 3 assists in 23 appearances including 20 starts before being injured in January against Augsburg. After two months without playing, he was nevertheless called up by Thomas Tuchel for the Klassiker against Dortmund. Two and a half months before the Euro, the Blues player was delighted with his return: “I worked a lot to come back. Now I feel good and fit. I’m really looking forward to getting back on the pitch.”.
Under contract until June 30, 2027, Kingsley Coman, whose talent is no longer to be proven, had signed with several clubs in recent summers, notably Paris Saint-Germain which returned to repatriate its nugget trained in Paris . According to the latest data from Transfermarkt, Coman's 2023/2024 season was marked by four injuries, or 77 days of absence, which is equivalent to 13 missed matches over this period. The 2022/2023 campaign was one of the most complete for the native of Moissy-Cramayel with only two small injuries contracted for a cumulative missed month. But the previous year was one of the worst with eight physical glitches over 89 days of absence and rehabilitation and around twenty missed matches. His state of form risks playing a role in the balance of negotiations in the event of departure but for the first time in years, Kingsley Coman like Bayern Munich seem inclined to shake hands to formalize the divorce after nine seasons in Bavaria (231 matches 55 goals) and countless trophies won.
