The Goodison club have been fighting off Chelsea’s attempt to sign John Stones, rejecting four bids – the last for £37 million.

Now, German giants Bayern are set to join Paris St-Germain in a battle for Coleman.

Meanwhile, it’s now thought Chelsea would have to increase their offer for Stones to £40m - plus a player - to tempt Everton into a reluctant sale of the England defender.

But right back Coleman, 26, is also in demand with the transfer window closing on Tuesday.

Everton have rejected an inquiry from top French club PSG, but the word from the continent last night was that Pep Guardiola’s Bayern were preparing a bid of £18m.

The Daily Star Sunday understands that Coleman has been on Bayern’s radar since the January transfer window. Everton, meanwhile, still insist Stones, 21, is not for sale.

They have also turned down a transfer request from the centre back, who can also operate at right back.

But the Goodison club could finally crack if the bidding reaches £40m and a player like midfielder John Obi Mikel, 28, or striker Loic Remy, also 28, was included.

Chelsea, though, don’t want to go that far, as they as they continue to eye a £70m deal for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, 22.

Everton, meanwhile, are considering reviving their interest in Dynamo Kiev’s Ukraine winger Andriy Yarmolenko, 25.

A deal broke down last week amid claims of interest from Barcelona and Arsenal. Everton offered £15m, with Kiev seeking £3m more than that.

But Yarmolenko is stll available, which has encouraged Everton boss Roberto Martinez.
