Bayern Munich Hold Out for Higher Transfer Fee as Coman Awaits Move to Al Nassr

Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman

Key Takeaways:

  • Negotiations between Bayern Munich and Al Nassr for Kingsley Coman’s transfer remain unresolved
  • Max Eberl reached an agreement on a €30 million fee, but Bayern’s board have rejected the proposal, seeking a higher sum
  • Kingsley Coman has already agreed personal terms on a three-year contract with Al Nassr

Transfer Negotiation Standoff

Ongoing discussions regarding Kingsley Coman’s prospective switch from Bayern Munich to Al Nassr have yet to yield a final agreement, as reported by Kicker. Despite recent reports suggesting the deal was imminent, both clubs are still negotiating terms.

Bayern Munich’s sporting director, Max Eberl, reached a consensus with representatives from Al Nassr on a transfer fee in the region of €30 million. However, this proposal did not receive the backing of the German club’s board. The Bayern hierarchy are demanding a higher transfer fee, mindful of the financial implications of finding a suitable replacement for the French international.

Financial Differences Prolong Talks

Both clubs remain apart in their valuation of Coman, which has led to a delay in concluding the transfer. The situation was highlighted by Christoph Freund’s comments yesterday, which underlined that an agreement on the transfer sum is yet to be reached.

Bayern Munich’s insistence on greater compensation stems from the anticipated cost involved in bringing in a capable replacement should Coman depart.

Player Agreement and Implications

Kingsley Coman has reportedly received assurances from Bayern Munich regarding the club’s willingness to sanction his transfer, provided that the financial demands are met. The resolution of the deal will therefore depend on both sides settling on a sum acceptable to all involved.

The French forward has already agreed to a three-year personal contract with Al Nassr, but he remains a Bayern player until both clubs reach a consensus on the transfer fee.
