Burnley man on Bayern list as they plan exit for one of trio – Kompany knows him well

Burnley winger Luca Koleosho is one of the names on Barcelona’s list if they move on Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman or Leroy Sane in the coming months.

That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, who says it is ‘very likely’ that one of the two Bayern wingers will depart next summer.

He reports that Gnabry, Sane and Coman are currently on the list to potentially leave the Allianz Arena next summer as the club continues to reshape Vincent Kompany’s squad.

Coman has a contract until 2027, Gnabry’s runs until 2026 and Sane is out of contract in 2025 so is currently the most likely to depart unless a new deal is agreed.

Either way, it will be one of the three, partly because director of football Max Eberl wants to reduce the squad’s salary structure, and the wingers are among the top earners.

If one does leave as planned, then the German club will add another winger to the squad and the market is being scouted. That’s seen them identify Burnley’s Luca Koleosho as a potential target and he’s one of the names on the list.

The 20-year-old is well known to Bayern boss Vincent Kompany after making his debut under the Belgian boss at Burnley in the Premier League in August last year and making 15 appearances under him last season.

Whether that’s led to Bayern’s interest isn’t clear but it’s there and he’s a name to keep an eye on ahead of next summer.
