Arsenal in Talks for Bayern Munich Star Kingsley Coman as Saudi Clubs Lurk

Gunners Make Move for Champions League Hero, But Face Competition From Saudi Pro League

Arsenal have opened talks with Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman in what could be a shrewd summer signing, though they face stiff competition from the deep pockets of Saudi Arabian clubs.

According to transfer insider Florian Plettenberg, discussions between the Gunners and Coman’s representatives have been “positive,” with the French international expected to leave Bayern this summer.

The 28-year-old, who scored the winning goal in the 2020 Champions League final, could add trophy-winning pedigree to Mikel Arteta’s squad as both a starter and impact substitute.

However, a deal is far from guaranteed. Saudi Pro League clubs are circling, offering a potentially more lucrative alternative for Coman, who has won league titles in France, Germany, and Italy throughout his glittering career.

Despite being under contract until 2027, Bayern are reportedly open to letting him go for a reasonable fee—with his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) sitting at €38.7 million. For Arsenal, that represents solid value for a player who could bolster their attacking options without breaking the bank.

Coman’s potential arrival would bring a wealth of experience, including eight Bundesliga titles and appearances in multiple major international finals for France. While injuries have occasionally disrupted his career, his big-game mentality could prove invaluable for an Arsenal side looking to finally get over the line in both the Premier League and Champions League.

As negotiations continue, the Gunners will hope their project—and the lure of Premier League football—can outweigh the financial might of Saudi suitors. One thing’s certain: Coman’s next move will be one of the summer’s most intriguing sagas.
