It has been reported by Sky Sport journalist Kerry Hau (via @iMiaSanMia) that Vincent Kompany and his staff are pleased with Kingsley Coman’s performances thus far this season. Bayern Munich might look to extend the French winger who was earlier believed to be a potential departure in January.
It seems as though both parties are satisfactory with the arrangement and Coman plans to reassess the situation in the summer. Not everyone agrees with Coman’s performance this season though.

Vincent Kompany and his staff are happy with Kingsley Coman’s performances this season. After he was close to leaving the club last summer, the Frenchman is now happy under Kompany and is not planning a January move. Coman wants to reassess his situation in the summer. Contract runs until 2027.
BFW Analysis
While Coman is a proven dribbler and progressive player, the statistics are clear — Coman is no better than the average winger at scoring or assisting. It isn’t always fair to be overly critical, but when a Bayern Munich winger (who plays with some of the best talent in the world each week) is proven to be contributing to less goals than the average winger across the Top 5 leagues, there is no more reason for patience.
It is important to keep in mind that Coman has not registered a single goal contribution this season so far against a team in the top eight of the Bundesliga (as of Matchday 12). Some would say he is in form, considering he didn’t score a single goal against a top-half Bundesliga side last season. He did score in two matches, against Mainz 05 and Freiburg, respectively.
This begs the question, should the Bayern Munich staff be happy with the French winger? Is he just cursed and unlucky to not score or assist more? Or does his movement with the ball give armor beyond necessary to otherwise poor play? Fans seem to either think he is the savior of Bayern Munich or its eternal curse.
