Fabrizio Romano reports that Al Hilal have made a “huge bid” for Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman.
The CaughtOffside columnist shared an update on the matter on X (formerly Twitter), pointing out competing interest from unnamed Premier League teams.
🚨 Al Hilal have made a significant huge bid to sign Kingsley Coman.
There will be competition not only from Barca, the club coach Hansi Flick admires, but also from the Premier League’s top clubs.

If Liverpool are looking for more experience in attack, it would not be surprising to see a name like Coman on their recruitment list.
However, given the level of speculation surrounding Federico Chiesa at the moment, it is likely that the Italian international is relatively high on the list of candidates.
With a price tag likely significantly lower than the Frenchman’s transfer fee (Bayern are wanting between £42.1m and £50.6m, according to L’Equipe via PSGTalk), you can’t blame Richard Hughes and co for leaning in a particular direction.
Juventus are thought to be valuing Chiesa at just £12.7m and new manager Thiago Motta is not thought to be planning with the 26-year-old in mind for the 2024/25 season.
