Bayern exit? Kingsley Coman decision 'alerts' Premier League heavyweights

Bayern Munich are reportedly willing to sell France international Kingsley Coman this summer, putting Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea on high alert.

Bayern Munich are reportedly prepared to part ways with Kingsley Coman this summer, putting Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal on high alert.

The 28-year-old is currently a part of France's Euro 2024 squad in Germany, where Didier Deschamps's troops are battling for continental supremacy.

That being said, Coman has played a bit-part role for Les Bleus so far, featuring for just 15 minutes during the closing stages of the goalless draw with Netherlands on June 21.

For Bayern, it has been another season riddled with injuries for the Frenchman, who managed only 15 starts in the Bundesliga as Thomas Tuchel's men stuttered to a third-placed finish.

Since making the high-profile switch from Italian giants Juventus to Bavaria on a permanent deal in July 2017, Coman has played 234 times across all competitions, scoring 55 goals.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal 'alerted' to Coman availability

According to HITC, Bayern Munich are willing to offload Coman this summer, as the Bavarians look to move in a different direction under the stewardship of Vincent Kompany.

The report claims that Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been alerted to the developments surrounding the 28-year-old during this summer's window.

It is understood that the Reds, Blues and Gunners are all keen on securing the services of Coman, who has never played senior football in England to date.

With three years left on his current deal at the Allianz Arena, a deal to bring the France international to the Premier League is not likely to be cheap.

New Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is said to be a huge admirer of Coman, with the Dutchman also interested in recruiting Bologna's Joshua Zirkzee.

One in one out at Bayern

Bayern Munich's willingness to offload Coman to one of his potential suitors is largely down to the imminent arrival of a star attacker from England.

The Bavarian giants are closing on in the signing of Crystal Palace playmaker Michael Olise, who is set to benefit from Kompany's appointment at the Allianz Arena.

Olise bagged 16 goal contributions in just 19 matches for Palace in the Premier League last term and looks set for a huge move across Europe.
