Real Madrid Transfers: 5 players to try and sign from rival clubs

3. Bayern Munich RW Kingsley Coman

While the first two picks were from the local rivals, the top three are from Real Madrid’s continental rivals. To start with, Real Madrid’s biggest European rivals have been the Bavarians. Real Madrid’s ‘black beast’ or La Bestia Negra was the popular name dubbed for FC Bayern Munich in Spain.

Bayern and Real Madrid have been fierce opponents from as early as the 70s. There have been some high-scoring games and some that turned ugly. One infamous incident is that of Real Madrid legend Juanito stamping on Lothar Matthaus leading to a five-year ban. In the recent past too, Real Madrid and FC Bayern have locked horns in the Champions League that ended up being high scoring ties over the two legs.

The player I am picking from the Bavarian squad is their speedy right-winger Kingsley Coman. The right-wing is an evident problem area in Real Madrid’s squad and having someone as skillful as Coman would easily solve all problems for Real Madrid. He has pace, brilliant dribbling skills, is creative and he can also finish scoring chances. This season he has 10 goal involvements that include six goals and four assists in all competitions for the German giants.

Although there are other players like Robert Lewandowski and Leon Goretzka who were linked to Real Madrid in the past, I think Coman is the one player I’d love most to have in the Spanish Capital. The changes at center-forward and midfield can wait for another season but reinforcements on the right are an immediate necessity. Coman is one of the best right-wingers in world football in recent times and has an elite mentality. He’d be a good fit at Madrid.
