Kingsley Coman decides to leave Bayern: Will Barça sign him?

Kingsley Coman seems to have his days numbered with Bayern Munich. Although the 28-year-old winger has a contract until 2027, he has expressed his desire to leave to the club and the Bavarian board will not block his departure.

After a decade in the Bavarian team where he won everything, including the Champions League in 2020 (he scored the winning goal in the final against PSG), the French international is determined to try his luck in another team to regain his best form.

In the 24/25 season, Kingsley scored 7 goals and provided 4 assists in 41 matches (1,839 minutes) with Bayern. However, he was only a starter in 5 of the 14 Champions League matches played by the team.

Knowing that he is becoming less and less important in the plans of coach Vincent Kompany, Coman prioritizes changing scenery and Barça may be an ideal destination for the Parisian, thanks to the presence of Hansi Flick on the azulgrana bench.

The reason why Barça prefers Luis Díaz over Coman

However, although the Frenchman was on the culé radar last summer, the club has other names ahead for the 25/26 season. For now, the priority points to Luis Díaz, whose departure from Liverpool could be closed for an amount close to 70 million euros.

Bayern, for their part, would be willing to let Kingsley go for a more affordable price, close to 40 'kilos'. The difference between both signings has to do, fundamentally, with the salary issue.

While 'Lucho' receives one of the most discreet salaries at Liverpool (3.5 million gross), Coman currently earns 17 'kilos' annually at the Bavarian club. An abysmal difference that, added to the excellent current form of the Colombian with his club and national team, tips the balance in favor of the Barrancas native.

Rashford also overtakes Kingsley Coman in Barça's plans

Another option well valued by Barça, for the 25/26 season, is Marcus Rashford. The English winger is also expected to leave Manchester United for around 40-45 million euros and, although his salary is also very high (20 M€ gross per year), the striker is willing to negotiate a much more discreet contract to reach Catalonia.

As things stand, Kingsley Coman will have to look for other alternatives to continue his career in 25/26, perhaps away from the European elite. In Arabia, several clubs are attentive to his future, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Also several big clubs in the Premier League would be interested in having his services. The Frenchman is a PSG youth player and, before leaving for Germany, he played one season at Juventus (the 14/15 season, being European runner-up against Barça).
