Football star Kingsley Coman switches teams, moving from Bayern to Al-Nassr, where he will now team up with Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix.
Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman Joins Al-Nassr in Three-Year Deal
In a significant move for the Saudi Pro League, Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman has transferred to Al-Nassr on a three-year deal, reportedly slightly under €30 million ($34.9 million). The 29-year-old French international will link up with Cristiano Ronaldo and new signings Iñigo Martínez and João Félix as part of an ambitious project for the Saudi club 1, 2, 3, 5.
Coman, who made 339 appearances for Bayern, scoring 72 goals, won nine Bundesliga titles, the 2020 Champions League (where he scored the winning goal in the final), Club World Cup, and other trophies. His move to Al-Nassr marks the next step in his career after a decade in Munich 1, 2, 3, 5.
With Coman's arrival, Al-Nassr's team lineup now features several high-profile attackers, including Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix (signed from Chelsea), Iñigo Martínez (signed from Barcelona), and Sadio Mané. This attacking core is intended to boost Al-Nassr’s competitiveness domestically and internationally 1, 3.
The fee for Coman's transfer is reported to be up to 35 million euros ($41 million) 1, 2. Leroy Sané, another experienced Bayern forward, has also departed the club, moving to Turkey's Galatasaray on a free transfer due to lack of game time.
Max Eberl, Bayern's board member for sport, acknowledged Coman's contributions to the club. Al-Nassr signed Cristiano Ronaldo to a two-year contract extension in June 1, 5. Coman's transfer to Al-Nassr places him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix, and Sadio Mané in the team's forward lineup.
Kingsley Coman's departure from Bayern Munich was announced late Friday. He scored nine goals in 45 games in all competitions last season, but struggled for playing time under coach Kompany, even before the arrival of Luis Diáz.
