He has won six Bundesliga titles at Bayern. Coman is a highly talented player, but his poor injury record is a big concern.

That he is a quality player is beyond doubt, what concerns is his fitness. Will he be a good fit under Jurgen Klopp?
Liverpool do have Diogo Jota as an option. However, the Portuguese is more of a drifter who loves to get into scoring areas, whereas Coman is a natural winger.
