PSG Identified as Most Concrete Option for Barcelona’s Backup Target, Report Says | OneFootball

Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich has been a hot topic during the summer transfer window, with rumors linking him to FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sport Germany recently reported that Barcelona have started talks with Coman’s representatives. The Catalan side have also been informed that a loan could be possible for the player they view as a backup plan in case they miss out on Nico Williams.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick holds the former PSG youth player in high regard since he coached him at Bayern Munich. The latest information comes from Plettenberg again, who reported on Saturday that Coman can leave the German side on loan with an option or obligation to buy.

The report states that PSG are currently the most viable option for Coman, but there haven’t been any significant developments yet—only formal talks have occurred. Bayern and PSG have a strong working relationship, which could help facilitate discussions.

Last season, Coman made 27 appearances for Bayern Munich, where he scored five goals and recorded three assists. These final weeks will be interesting to see where the player lands to continue his career.
