Barça are not throwing in the towel for Nico Williams, but they are also clear that if the Athletic player does not come, they must reinforce the left wing position no matter what. The Blaugrana club has already received numerous offers from top-level players, but the one that best fits is Kinglsey Coman. SPORT reported that the player has been offered a place after Bayern opened the door for him to leave and ‘Sky Germany’ confirms that he is the great alternative to Nico Williams for Hansi Flick’s project at Barça. The player could even go out on loan for a year.
Coman is not part of Bayern’s plans, as they have changed their coach and sporting director and are currently undergoing a major squad revolution. They have invested heavily and are going to sign more in the coming weeks, so they must reduce the high salaries of the squad and one of the chosen ones to be Coman is out, a player who was very inconsistent last season due to his physical problems although he is a top-class winger.
Hansi Flick knows him perfectly. He had him at Bayern during the year of the sextuple and he was one of the players he used the most. ‘Sky Germany’ explains that Flick really appreciates Coman’s football and that Barça would be considering his incorporation in the event that it is a transfer window opportunity and the possibility of signing Nico Williams falls through definitively.
There are factors that could help make the deal happen. The first is that Coman wants to go to a top-level project and would be willing to adjust his salary. The second and clearest is that he would have the sporting OK from Hansi Flick since he fits perfectly in the profile of the winger that is being sought. And the third is that by coming on loan for a year, Barça could cover the winger position with a player of immense quality and without investing money and thus wait for Nico Williams for June 30th in case he says no to the Blaugrana proposal.
Kingsgley Coman already has important offers from Premier League teams and PSG, but he prefers to wait. He has no doubt that joining Flick again could be a success for his sporting career, but he knows that at the moment it is only an alternative and not a first option.
