Carlo Ancelotti Insists There Is 'No Chance' of Kingsley Coman Returning to Juventus

Published on: 08 November 2016

Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti has refuted suggestions that winger Kingsley Coman could potentially end his loan deal and return to Juventus after limited playing time in Germany, Football Italia reports.


The 20-year-old France international has made just four starts in the Bundesliga this season under Ancelotti, despite establishing himself as a key player for Bayern under Pep Guardiola last season.

Coman is in the second year of his €7m two-year loan spell, with Bayern Munich reportedly having the option to sign the former Paris Saint-Germain winger on a permanent deal for €21m (£18m).


But his reduced playing time under the Italian has led to reports that the young Frenchman could end his current loan deal and return to his parent club, Juventus.


Ancelotti, however, has rejected those reports and insists there is 'no chance' of the winger leaving the Allianz Arena.


"Coman? His future is at Bayern," the 57-year-old told Italian publication Tuttosport. "We all rely heavily on him. There is no possibility of him returning to Juve."


The former Real Madrid manager also revealed the reason behind letting Medhi Benatia go on loan to the Serie A champions.


"Benatia? We fulfilled the desire of the player, who wanted to return to Italy, where had played at high levels with Roma and Udinese. But Medhi is very good, I never had any doubts of that."


Bayern are currently top of the Bundesliga with 24 points from their first ten matches, but are closely followed by surprise package RB Leipzig who are in second place on the same number of points, but with an inferior goal difference.
