It was a rather hectic end of the transfer window for Kingsley Coman. During the last days of this summer market, the French international was very close to changing air, coveted in England but in Saudi Arabia in particular.

But that will not be the case. As Bayern Munich have indicated, Coman will stay at the club this season. “Kingsley Coman stays with us”coldly launched Max Eberl, Bavarian sporting director, after the Bundesliga match against Freiburg (2-0). Enough to put an end to speculation, for the moment at least, while the player took part in the two championship matches played by his club so far, all coming on in the second half.

A 2024/2025 season as an undisputed starter could therefore have an influence on his future, he who has lost his role as an undisputed player in the Blues’ group in the eyes of his coach Didier Deschamps…
