The Bavarians are said to open to selling the French international if they receive a satisfactory offer, though it's unclear how Leroy Sane's recent departure to Galatasaray might impact the club’s stance. Coman has been with Bayern since 2015, racking up 339 appearances, 72 goals, and 71 assists. Despite his contributions, he’s been seen as transferable, especially with the club chasing new attacking talent like Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
DID YOU KNOW?
The 29-year-old, who scored the winning goal in the 2020 Champions League final, has won league titles in France, Italy, and Germany. Last year, a move to Saudi Arabia collapsed due to his own refusal. Arsenal and other Premier League clubs have been closely monitoring his situation. Under Vincent Kompany, Coman started four of Bayern’s five Club World Cup matches, including the 2-0 quarter-final defeat against his former club Paris Saint-Germain.

Fenerbahce must decide whether to push for a loan or full transfer, depending on Die Roten’s final asking price and squad plans. Bayern’s pursuit of a new winger and their view on Coman's fitness will likely influence the decision.
