According to a report from Kicker (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich’s supervisory board did not approve the sale of Kingsley Coman to Al Nassr. The pitch was made by the club’s front office.
Kicker listed the reasons (compiled below), but the bottom line is that Bayern Munich wants more money from Al Nassr for Coman:
The reasons Bayern’s supervisory board didn’t approve the €30m Coman deal:
– The club paid €70m for Luis Díaz, who is only 7 months younger
– Al-Nassr is one of the wealthiest
ADclubs in the world
– Selling Coman would mean having to sign a replacement, which will be expensive
The club is therefore demanding a higher fee. The deal has not fallen through. An agreement could still be reached in the coming days
Al Nassr clearly has the money, but with doubling Coman’s salary, the club is already making a significant financial investment.
Bayern Munich travels to VfB Stuttgart for the Beckenbauer Supercup (formerly the DFL-Supercup) in what should be a highly anticipated match-up between two teams with high hopes for the 2025/26 season.
