Manchester United plan to tempt Bayern Munich forward Kingsley Coman away from the Allianz Arena with a wage package of £10m a year, according to reports from Germany.
The
24-year-old, whose contract with Bayern expires in the summer of 2023, is said
to be demanding a wage far higher than what the Bundesliga club is willing to
sanction.
United,
on the other hand, are in the market for a young right-sided attacker with
experience playing at the top level, and Coman – who scored Bayern’s winner in
their Champions League final victory over Paris Saint-Germain last season –
certainly fits the bill.
According
to German media outlet SportBILD, United are said to be prepared to offer Coman
a wage of £10m yearly, which is close to what he currently earns in Germany.
It
appears as if United, in one way or another, are prepared to spend big on a
young right-sided attacker with dazzling close control, although most reports
suggest the man they are looking for – or boy, really – is Jadon Sancho, whose
links with Old Trafford have not been erased since last summer.
However,
United may well feel like they could get a sweeter deal if they hold out to
secure Coman, whose transfer fee will be nowhere near the £80m being demanded
for Sancho due to the Frenchman only having two years left on his contract.
United
may well be prepared to pay a hefty wage and a modest fee, rather than break
the bank on Sancho, who is not – it should be pointed out – as proven at the
top level as the German star – Coman.
