A number of Liverpool fans are unsure about the prospect of the Reds signing Kingsley Coman following an update over the weekend.
Jurgen Klopp may be on the lookout for attacking reinforcements this summer, providing even more competition for places. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino will all be vying for playing time next season, but a fifth strong option wouldn't go amiss.

According to Sport 1 journalist Florian Plettenburg on Twitter on Sunday, Liverpool are interested in signing Bayern Munich winger Coman. The Reds are thought to be 'in contact' with the 25-year-old's management, although a decision won't be made until after his participation at Euro 2020 with France.
The £58.5m-rated attacker has scored 41 goals and registered 50 assists in 200 appearances for Bayern, famously netting the only goal in the 2020 Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool fans excited after Coman update

"I seriously don’t know what to make of this, seems very unlike Liverpool to go after someone so injury prone, personally I’d take him but who’s he going to be playing over? Won’t happen anyway cause FSG won’t spend a penny"

"I couldn't think of a worse player to move for from LFC point of view. Poison in a dressing room and this stinks of using LFC to leverage that new contract at Bayern he's after lately "
