Arsenal are expected to be very busy this summer, and while there’s still plenty to play for this season, the Gunners are already making proactive moves in the transfer market.
Bayern Munich forward Kingsley Coman has been an appealing target for Arsenal, and Florian Plettenberg now claims the Gunners have made their move for the Frenchman.
According to the Sky Germany journalist, Arsenal have opened talks with the player’s camp, with the Gunners hoping to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
The dazzling French winger has been on Bayern’s books for a decade and is now ready to take on a fresh challenge elsewhere.
The 28-year-old is no longer considered a key part of the club’s future plans, so both parties have decided to cut ties at the end of the season.
The Bundesliga powerhouse are already lining up potential replacements for the former Juventus loanee as they look to refresh their squad this summer.
Arsenal are looking to take advantage of Coman’s situation, but it might not be as straightforward as they hoped.
While discussions are ongoing, Arsenal will need to move fast, considering the Saudi Pro League (SPL) are also pushing to sign the winger.
The SPL is reportedly an attractive destination for Coman.
A move to the Middle East will allow him to maintain his high wages, so Arsenal may need to break the bank to beat the free-spending Arabians.
Arsenal are relying more on their sporting project to do the trick.
With Champions League football on offer and a strong push for the Premier League title over the past few years, the Gunners believe they can convince Coman to make the Premier League switch.
Coman has won 11 league titles across spells with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Bayern. He has won the Bundesliga seven times and was the match-winner in the 2020 Champions League final.
He still has plenty to offer at the highest level, but it’ll be interesting to see if he considers Arsenal a decent landing spot.
