Paris Saint-Germain will not launch the offensive to re-sign Kingsley Coman this summer, thus boosting Barcelona’s prospects of signing the 28-year-old from Bayern Munich.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Kingsley Coman is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The 28-year-old might leave Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window, and Paris Saint-Germain considered re-signing him. However, the Ligue 1 champions have decided against launching the offensive for the attacker, thus boosting Barcelona’s prospects.
Kingsley Coman and his journey so far
Kingsley Coman has been a serial winner throughout his career, winning a league title in almost every season. 2023/24 was the first term that ended without a trophy for the Frenchman, who has also been a handy contributor to most triumphant campaigns at the club level in the last decade.
The 28-year-old has seen his stock soar during his ongoing stint with Bayern Munich, spending nearly a decade at the Bavarian club. Coman has turned out nearly 300 times thus far for Die Roten while amassing 63 goals and 66 assists. However, he faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena due to his recent fitness issues.
The French attacker struggled throughout the 2023/24 campaign, managing only 1,737 minutes of game time across 27 appearances in all competitions. Meanwhile, Kingsley Coman’s situation has not gone unnoticed, with recent reports linking him with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
What next?
Barcelona’s interest in Kingsley Coman is understandable. The Blaugrana will unlikely sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club this summer, with the Spanish international leaning towards staying at San Mames. So, the Catalan giants are identifying alternatives in the market. Coman has thus emerged as a viable target for Barcelona.
As for PSG, they have lost Kylian Mbappe, who has joined Real Madrid in a Bosman move this summer. While Coman will not be a like-for-like replacement for his compatriot, the 28-year-old serial winner can be a valuable addition to the PSG squad. However, the Ligue 1 champions have ruled out a summer move for the Frenchman.
With PSG refusing to launch the move to re-sign the France international, Barcelona’s prospects have improved. It will be interesting to see if the Catalan giants can secure Kingsley Coman’s services before the summer transfer window shuts down.
