Whisper+ analysis

  • Liverpool are eyeing a potential move for Kingsley Coman.
  • The France international could leave Bayern Munich this summer.
  • Coman has also been linked with Arsenal and a potential move to the Saudi Pro League.

Authenticity (2/5): Liverpool considering Coman bid

Earlier this month, it was reported that Arsenal was in contact with Coman's representatives over a potential summer move.

While Arsenal are among Coman's potential suitors, Caught Offside are reporting that Liverpool are showing the strongest interest in the Bayern winger. The report states that the Reds could look to table an offer this summer.

Value (3/5): Reds learn Coman asking price

The same report claims that Bayern are looking to receive around €40m (£34m) for a player who is under contract until the summer of June 2027.

Suitability (2.5/5): Playing time struggles

It is difficult to see how Coman could be a regular starter at Liverpool, given the fact that he has struggled for starting opportunities at Bayern this season.

The Frenchman has started just 18 of his 38 competitive appearances this season, contributing seven goals and four assists.

Upgrade? (3.5/5): Uncertainty over attackers

While he may not be seen as a guaranteed starter, Coman could add valuable depth to Arne Slot's attacking options, especially as there could be departures in the summer transfer window.

Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa have all been linked with moves away ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Logic (4/5): New challenge

Coman has enjoyed significant success with Bayern Munich, winning eight Bundesliga titles, six German Super Cups, three DFB-Pokals, a Champions League, a UEFA Super Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup.

The winger is on the verge of collecting a ninth Bundesliga winners' medal, and may feel it is now the time to try a fresh challenge away from the Allianz Arena, although he may have to be prepared to settle for a squad role if he were to complete a move to Anfield.

Whisper+ verdict: 15/25

Coman could be open to the prospect of joining Liverpool, but the Reds may have their reservations about his lack of playing time and struggle for form. As a result, we are doubtful about whether the Premier League champions will push forward with this move.
