Chelsea ‘submit £52.4million bid for Juventus star Kingsley Coman’ as they aim to pip Manchester City and Bayern Munich to France winger
CHELSEA have submitted a £52.4million bid for Kingsley Coman as they aim to sign him from under the noses of Bayern Munich and Manchester City, according to reports.
The France winger is coming to the end of a two-year loan deal with the German champions.

He said: “The option is valid until April 30. He had a few difficulties after the Euros, but lately has returned to usual level.
“We expect to keep the player.”
However, that paltry sum pales in comparison to the money the Blues have offered, according to Telefoot.

And even Manchester City, whose own £43.6m offer comes up £8m short of the top bid, is much more in line with what Juventus will want.
But the situation could be taken out of his hands should Mehdi Benatia make his loan spell at the Old Lady permanent.

Rummenigge added: "Benatia's talent cannot be debated, but unfortunately he has been penalised by some physical problems.
"In any case, I think he will stay in Turin, as we have a pretty clear agreement with Juventus."
