Man Utd transfer target Kingsley Coman’s agent ‘forcing move to England’ and Bayern confident star will stay
KINGSLEY COMAN'S agent and family are trying to force a move to England following rumoured interest from Manchester United, reports suggest.
Coman was linked with a potential move to United after claims he rejected a contract extension - but Bayern Munich remain confident their star man is going to stay in Bavaria.
However, journalist Florian Plettenberg claims the winger's father, a family friend and his agent Pini Zahavi are pushing for a transfer to England ahead of next season.
The chief reporter added that the Red Devils remain coy on rumours linking the France international with the Manchester giants but admitted he is "very talented"
Plettenberg : "Update [on] Coman: Bosses are sure that [Kingsley Coman] wants to extend.
"But they know that his father, Benoit Menye (family’s friend) & Zahavi are forcing his move to [England].
BETTING SPECIAL: GET RONALDO OR MBAPPE TO HAVE A SHOT ON TARGET AT 30/1
"A boss from [Man Utd] told me: "We do not comment on rumors. We have scouts all over the world & Coman is very talented."
Reports suggested that United targeted Coman as a cheaper alternative to Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.
However, it appears like the Red Devils' attention is fully dedicated on Sancho in the summer transfer window.
