Kingsley Coman, a Chelsea target, has signed a new deal with Bayern Munich.
Chelsea summer signing Kingsley Coman is agreed to issue a contract extension with Bayern Munich soon, according to the French publication L'Equipe such as through Sport Witness, as quoted by Absolute Chelsea Football.London. He hasn't gotten many minutes in the league due to injury issues that have cropped up on a regular basis.
The Blues had "made offers" to sign the Frenchman, but this news has dealt them a major setback. His current deal will expire in June 2023, after which he will be eligible for a raise.
The Blues had “made an offer” to land the Frenchman but have been dealt a major blow by this update. His current contract will come to an end in June 2023, which has seen him get linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. However, that looks to be off the cards and he will now sign a new deal with Bayern.
Manchester City also were keeping an eye on Coman as they attempted to complete a transfer to strengthen their squad, but their plans were thwarted by this news. It'll be interesting to see if Thomas Tuchel's team shifts their focus to someone in the days ahead.
Given how some of our attacking deals have not reached the peaks they had already shown at their former clubs, the mere possibility of having signed the 25-year-old would've been fantastic. While they have recently begun to click again, it would've been preferable if we had a variety of options out there unless they were unable to maintain this form.
On the other hand, there are drawbacks, such as the regular injury issues that the France international has been dealing with for quite some time.
On the other hand, there are drawbacks, such as the frequent injury issues that the France international has been dealing with for quite some time. Despite this, he has five goals as well as two assists in 905 minutes of action this season across all competitions. But all is not lost because his signing wouldn't be a prime concern for us in the first place.
Given the injury concerns and the cap hit of some of the players, the defensive areas ought to be the individuals we should be concentrating on. Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Andreas Christensen are all in the final six months of their contracts and could leave for another summer if they so choose.
Ben Chilwell as well as Reece James are injured at the moment, and there are few options to fill their shoes. Azpilicueta isn't really an innate wing-back but can do a good job in that position, while Marcos Alonso is Chilwell's only backup. It demonstrates how, regardless of their availability, reinforcement is required.
Eurosport reported in the most recent update that the Bundesliga attacker had completed his signing and had renewed his contract until 2027.
