The French forward signed a new contract with the Bundesliga side back in December, a deal that will keep him tied to the club until 2027.

Speaking to Sport 1, Coman revealed the reasoning behind his decision to stay at the Allianz Arena:

He continued:

Coman has consistently been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in the past, with him not being a permanent starter at Bayern.

Since manager Julian Nagelsmann came in, however, Coman has seen more regular game time and his appreciation is clear to see. He continued:

The forward has five goal contributions from 11 matches for the German giants this season and continues to push for a regular starting berth under Nagelsmann.

Chelsea and Manchester United will consider missing out on Coman a setback, with both sides seemingly in need of more depth in wide positions.

Chelsea and Manchester United’s wing issue

Manchester United have seen their squad lose members recently, with Mason Greenwood’s time at the club in jeopardy.

Jesse Lingard is set to leave in the summer and the club are reluctant to give Amad Diallo a squad role, with the Ivorian being sent out on loan to Rangers for more game time.

United will more than likely be looking at wide options going into the summer transfer window despite their glaring issues at the center of midfield.

Chelsea, meanwhile, don’t seem satisfied with their options on the wing either, with the likes of Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech still to truly step up to the plate.

Talk of a rumored move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele will only intensify with each game their wingers continue to struggle in.
