  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 29-year-old has long been viewed as a valuable asset for the Bavarians, but persistent speculation amid reported interest from Saudi clubs has raised questions about his future. With Kompany looking to rebuild and reaffirm the squad’s strength, keeping experienced players like Coman is vital.

• WHAT COMAN SAID

  “I said I’d like to stay,” Coman told Germany. “I have two years left on my contract, that’s simple. And football is like this: If you have a contract and you feel good, you can stay. The coach always said: 'I need you, I need you fit, I need you good.'"

  Kompany later said to the channel: "Kingsley has always played an important role for me."
