Real Madrid 'preparing to rival Barcelona for Kingsley Coman'

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to go head-to-head with Barcelona for the signing of Bayern Munich attacker Kingsley Coman during next summer's transfer window.

The 25-year-old's current deal at the Allianz Arena is due to expire in June 2023, and the German champions are allegedly finding it difficult to agree fresh terms with the attacker.

Coman has again been a regular for Bayern during the 2021-22 campaign, making 10 appearances in all competitions, providing two goals and one assist in the process.

The Bundesliga giants are thought to be open to a sale next year, and new Barcelona boss Xavi is believed <a href="/football/chelsea/transfer-talk/news/xavi-keen-to-bring-kingsley-coman-to-barcelona_468775.html">to have identified</a> . . .
