Bayern star whose contract renewal needs to be discussed. Pini Zahavi, Israeli agent, as an intermediary. Too high claims for the Bavarian team. Tension in conversations. If you put all these unknowns into an equation, all eyes would be on David Alaba, a brand new Real Madrid signing. However, history could repeat itself at the Allianz Arena with another protagonist: Kingsley Coman.
25-year-old winger ends contract in 2023 and, details 'Sport Bild', the first approach to try a new commitment has ended in dispute.

The French international, recently eliminated from the European Championship after Mbappé's vaunted failure in the penalty shoot-out against Switzerland, wants 20 million euros a year to translate his signature into a new agreement, an amount that Bayern is not willing to assume.

Juventus convinced him in 2014, to loan him to Bayern for two years in 2015. After the loan, Kingsley convinced the German giant, which executed the purchase option of 21 million existing in the agreement.

Now, four years after Coman became a Bayern player by all accounts, a negotiation that appears arduous begins. Time is not too much of a rush yet, but as the summer of 2022 approaches, now or never will be closer and closer. That is, to sell your star so as not to lose him at zero cost at the end of the contract as happened with Alaba. What's more, Liverpool and Manchester United, as the English press well glides, they do not take their eyes off him …
