Transfers: Are Bayern Munich going to make a late bid for Seamus Coleman?

Can Everton hang on to the Irish full-back?

Paris, Munich or Liverpool?

Seamus Coleman was linked with a shock move to PSG last Friday when talkSPORT reported that the French club had a £20 million bid for the Irishman rejected.

There have been no reports of the Qatar owned club, who possesses a bottomless pit of money, making a renewed offer, despite Uefa’s financial fair play regulations being eased.

Maybe that’s because PSG are aware of interest for Coleman from another European superpower?

The Daily Star today reported that Bayern Munich are preparing a £18 million bid for the player. Yes, Munich are going to call Everton’s bluff and offer less than PSG’s reported bid.

The Italian forward was Brendan Rodgers first signing back in 2012, but has no future at the club, and has been forced to train away from the first team.

With just three days left in the transfer window, it was looking increasingly likely that Liverpool would be burdened with Borini for another season, however the forward could be on his way to Inter Milan.

The Mail on Sunday are reporting that the Serie A side are going to offer £6 million for Borini, which will likely result in Inter’s hand being fully snapped off.
