According to reports, the President of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, is planning a spectacular attack on FC Bayern Munich in the 2025 winter transfer window.
After the club has already inspired its fans with the commitment of the Spanish star Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig, he is still on the hunt for another powerful attacker to strengthen his hopes for the La Liga and the Champions League.
Xavi’s first choice was Nico Williams, who played a transfer-free from Athletic Bilbao, but since the 21-year-old is now likely to stay in Basque Country, Barça has turned to an alternative: Bavaria’s lightning-fast French wing player Kingsley Coman.
SeaSportIf those responsible for Camp Nou in Coman see the ideal plan B and are ready to push hard on a deal before the transfer window is closed. You are determined to strengthen the squad this season with its speed and experience as a champions League winner.
Barcelona’s transfer change: by Nico Williams to Kingsley Coman, supported by the new coach Hansi Flick
At the beginning of the winter transfer period, Barcelona was determined to activate Nico Williams ’58 million euro exit clause at Athletic Bilbao. It was convinced that the explosive 21-year-old could become one of the next superstars in Europe. But given the signs that the wing player will remain in the Basque Country, the Catalans have pointed out their attention to a more proven option: Kingsley Coman from FC Bayern Munich.
Several factors have promoted the change of strategy:
- Hansi Flick’s arrival.The new Barça trainer knows Coman from the joint triple period at Bayern. Flick said sports director Deco that he was convinced that the pace, dribbling and the French experience in important games would immediately increase the team’s attack potential.
- Immediate effects instead of long -term potential.While Williams meets Barça’s youth policy, the 28-year-old Coman is already a series champion with game-decisive moments in the Champions League. With La League and European titles as a goal, experience is now becoming more important.
- Equation of value.Williams ’fixed clause over 58 million euros does not leave a scope for negotiations, while Comans could be structured by loans or additional payments – crucial for Barça’s scarce salary limit.
Flick signed until June 30, 2026, and his first big wish is the French winger, whom he once trusted the winning goal in the Champions League 2020. Club president Joan Laporta and Deco are now examining opportunities to meet this wish before the transfer period is closed. This signals Barça’s intention to equip his new trainer with the necessary quality for an immediate title fight.
The fans will look closely: If Flick is working with Coman again, Barcelona’s series of attack could achieve the speed and experience that was lacking in the last season – an early sign that it is serious in the era to Xavi.
