Revealed: How selling Kingsley Coman to Arsenal & raising €70m could make or break Bayern Munich's pursuit of Real Madrid & Man City-linked Florian Wirtz

<p>Earlier this week, it was reported that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-bayern-munich-kingsley-coman-saudi-interest/blt041337dd074cd96e#cs7bf2abea7e4d1ad7" target="_blank">Arsenal had launched a move for the out-of-favour Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman</a>. Now, according to a report from <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen/fc-bayern-arsenal-will-diesen-bayern-superstar-es-gab-schon-gespraeche-68011cfcfb834060bdb73cf5" target="_blank">SPORT BILD</a>, Coman's sale this summer couldn't be of more importance to the Bavarians, as his departure could free up significant funds to facilitate the operation of Florian Wirtz's transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arsenal have reportedly held preliminary discussions with Coman's entourage, though direct talks with the Frenchman have yet to take place. According to SPORT BILD, Bayern are open to selling the French international, who earns around €17 million annually and is under contract until 2027, should a suitable offer arrive. The Bundesliga giants are said to be keen on offloading Coman to free up funds and wage space for a potential summer move for Wirtz. With a market value of €35 million, Bayern could recoup close to €70 million when factoring in salary savings.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The total cost of a potential summer transfer for Wirtz was revealed in a different report from BILD earlier this week. The German publication reported that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/florian-wirtz-250-million-cost-bayern-munich-plan-bayer-leverkusen-star-man-city-real-madrid/bltc94e84561ab09fd2#csb9e2d7b957db9b21" target="_blank">entire operation would cost Die Roten around €250 million</a>, including transfer fees and the player's wages over a five-year period.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After crashing out of the Champions League quarter-finals at the hands of Inter, Vincent Kompany's side will be determined to close out the league campaign without further hiccups. Bayern currently hold a six-point lead over reigning champions Leverkusen. They will take on Heidenheim on Saturday, April 19.</p>
