Liverpool have been dealt a setback in their pursuit of Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman after it was confirmed that talks have begun over a new deal.
Coman, who finished last season strongly and was a promising performer for France at the European Championships, will be out of contract with Bayern in the summer of 2023.
So far arrangements have not been made for the 25-year-old to commit his future to the club, sparking speculation that Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are ready to make a move in order to add a much needed boost to the Anfield attacking line.
