News is breaking in France that Chelsea have submitted a €60m offer for Juventus winger Kingsley Coman.
Coman, who is coming towards the end of a two year loan spell at Bayern Munich, was expected to make his move to Bavaria permanent, with the German champions able to exercise a pre-agreed deal to sign the 20-year-old for £18m.
Will Coman be making Antonio Conte react like this at Stamford Bridge, next season?
However, Coman could reject the move to Germany and instead opt for a switch to the Premier League.

According to Téléfoot, Champions elect Chelsea have submitted a bid that dwarves Bayern's agreement with Juventus, while Manchester City have also submitted an offer of €50m.

Bayern Chief Executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently claimed that the club intend to make Coman's deal permanent, telling reporters "The option is valid until April 30 and we expect to keep the player."

Of course, despite Rummenigge's confidence that a deal will be done, a large part of any potential transfer is down to Coman himself and, if the Frenchman prefers to make a move to Chelsea or Manchester City, there isn't much Bayern can do to change his mind.
The offers from Chelsea and Manchester City are also likely to be favoured by Juventus, who stand to make a lot more from a sale to a Premier League club than they would if Coman decided to stay in Munich.
