Bayern Munich’s efforts to secure Rennes’ rising star, Désiré Doué, have fallen short as the young talent opts to move to Paris Saint-Germain instead. Despite Bayern’s need to offload players to make room for new signings, including potentially moving Kingsley Coman, Doué’s decision disappoints Bayern. With Coman now left with limited options for departure, the situation highlights a challenging transfer window for the Bavarian giants.
Lost cause? Bayern Munich had to offload a player to secure the signing of Rennes’ prodigy Désiré Doué
Rennes’ young talent, Désiré Doué, has been a top target for Bayern Munich this summer. Still, the Rekordmeister needed to sell more players before adding another winger to their squad.
Kingsley Coman currently has just one solid opportunity to depart from Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich must clear space in their attack to accommodate the arrival of Désiré Doué from Rennes. They’ve already strengthened their offensive lineup by bringing in Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. While Bryan Zaragoza has gone out on loan, there’s still room for one more exit from Die Roten’s attacking unit.
Kingsley Coman is the leading candidate among Bayern’s forwards to depart before the transfer window closes. The French winger is willing to move on from Die Roten, though no firm offers have emerged yet.
Reports from Germany indicate that Paris Saint-Germain is the sole club with a severe interest in Coman. However, despite PSG’s interest, no negotiations with Bayern have occurred. The Bavarian club is willing to consider a loan move for him, as they haven’t received any permanent offers.
Reports also confirm that Manchester City is not interested in signing Coman. While FC Barcelona has been mentioned as a potential suitor, they primarily focus on acquiring Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. If PSG does not make an offer within the next three weeks, Bayern may be left with Coman on their roster.
The record Bundesliga champions aim to reduce their wage bill to facilitate new signings, and Coman is among the squad’s top earners. With interest in Coman not intensifying, Bayern would be satisfied with removing his salary from their books for at least one season.
Die Roten’s ideal situation for Coman would be a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option. The French winger’s talent is undisputed, but his injury record has scared off potential buyers. Although Fenerbahce showed interest, Coman has turned down a move to Turkey.
Die Roten would prefer a loan deal for Coman with a requirement to buy him later. Despite his talent, his injury history has stopped clubs from making serious offers. Although Fenerbahce was interested, Coman has rejected a move to Turkey.
Coman will only think about leaving Bayern for a top-tier club. Bayern hopes that English teams will express interest in the French winger during the last three weeks of the transfer window. Additionally, Die Roten must ensure that Coman avoids any injury setbacks in the coming days.
Désiré Doué turns down Bayern Munich in favor of PSG
Fabrizio Romano reports that Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich to sign Stade Rennais winger Désiré Doué.
In recent months, there has been a lot of news about Der Rekordmeister trying to sign the Frenchman.
Even though PSG tried to outbid the record champions, it seemed likely that Bayern would eventually land Doué, especially after selling Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to Manchester United.
Despite Bayern’s strong focus on signing Doué, the 19-year-old has chosen to bypass Der Rekordmeister and move to the French capital instead.
After announcing that he would decide following the Olympics, Doué opted to join PSG, and Bayern was notified of his choice.
While a final agreement between Rennes and the French champions has yet to be reached, Doué’s clear intention to join PSG makes it highly likely that a deal will soon be finalized.
This makes Doué the second high-profile player to turn down a move to Bayern Munich this summer, following Xavi Simons, who chose to return to RB Leipzig on a season-long loan.
