Liverpool enquire about France international
Premier League leaders Liverpool will hope to move a step closer to winning the title when they host Southampton on Saturday.Â
The Reds currently sit 13 points clear at the top of the table and are expected to cruise to a comfortable victory against the Saints, who sit bottom of the standings.
Manager Arne Slot is enjoying a fine debut season on Merseyside and could still win three trophies this term.
How, it appears that the Reds have been handed a boost with one of their transfer targets likely to leave his current club this summer.
According to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman is intent on leaving the German giants at the end of the current campaign.
Plettenberg claims that Liverpool have enquired about the French winger, who is under contract until the summer of 2027.
Coman looks likely to leave Bayern this summer
Despite Liverpool’s interest, it is also claimed that the 28-year-old is intent on a move to the lucrative Saudi Arabian Pro League.
The France international joined Bayern on loan from Italian side Juventus in 2015 before making the switch permanent two years later.
He has scored 69 goals and registered 66 assists in 327 matches across all competitions, as well as adding to his impressive individual trophy haul.
Coman has now won no fewer than 28 trophies during his senior club career, including eight Bundesliga titles and two top flight titles in each of Italy and France
Last season was, in fact, the first campaign since 2011/12 that Coman did not lift a domestic top flight title.
The winger has started just 11 Bundesliga games this season, though, as he competes with the likes of Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane for a starting spot in Vincent Kompany’s side.
Plettenberg claims that Bayern would be looking for a fee in the region of £25-35 million for Coman this summer, with the Bavarian giants willing to allow him to leave if their demands are met.
