Bayern boss responds to reports linking Coman with Saudi switch

Responding to reports linking Kingsley Coman with a move to Al Nassr, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer said the club is prepared to “respond accordingly” if a player wants to leave.

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has responded to reports suggesting that Al Nassr are looking to sign Kingsley Coman.

“I don’t want to engage in speculation. But if a player wants to leave, we will discuss it, weigh the pros and cons, and consider what that means for FC Bayern, and then respond accordingly,” Hainer told reporters on Sunday.

“In general, I can say that we are very satisfied with our squad,” the Bayern president continued.

“We have achieved what we wanted. With Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof, we have signed two German national players on a free transfer. With Luis Díaz, we were able to fill the gap on the left wing. Now we have the luxury to wait and see what happens in the market over the next three weeks.”

According to Bild, Coman is seriously considering a move to Al Nassr, where his wages could jump from €17 million gross per year to between €20 and €25 million net annually.

Sky reported on Saturday that the Saudi club are preparing a bid around €30 million for the winger.
