Saudi Arabia Transition for Coman Nearly Flawless, Reports Suggest
Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman Heads to Al-Nassr in Multi-Million Euro Deal
After a long-running transfer saga, Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has reportedly sealed a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. The transfer, pending a medical examination, is said to be worth around €30 million, including bonus payments, according to various reports.
The financial details of the deal have not been fully disclosed, but estimates suggest that Coman's net salary at Al-Nassr will be more than double his current salary at Bayern Munich. The lucrative offer has reportedly made Coman reconsider his decision to stay with the German football record champions.
The three-year contract will see Coman join a star-studded Al-Nassr squad, linking up with high-profile teammates such as Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as recent summer signings Iñigo Martínez (from Barcelona) and João Félix (from Chelsea).
Coman's departure from Bayern Munich has not been confirmed, but the club's president, Herbert Hainer, has remained calm about the reports. Hainer stated that if a player leaves the club, they will evaluate all pros and cons before reacting.
This move marks the end of Coman’s decade-long Bayern career, during which he made 339 appearances and scored 72 goals, winning nine Bundesliga titles and the 2020 Champions League, famously scoring the winning goal in the final.
During the Club World Cup, Coman expressed a desire to stay with Bayern Munich, but it appears that the lure of a new challenge and a significant pay rise has proved too tempting to resist.
The transfer is a testament to Al-Nassr's financial strength, as indicated by Coman's potential move. The Saudi Arabian club has been making waves in the transfer market this summer, with the signings of Ronaldo and Mané, and now Coman.
As Coman prepares to embark on a new chapter in his career, Bayern Munich will be left to assess their options and find a suitable replacement for the talented winger.
In this new chapter, Kingsley Coman will depart from Bayern Munich and join Al-Nassr, leaving behind a decade of service filled with sports achievements such as nine Bundesliga titles and the 2020 Champions League. Meanwhile, European leagues, including the Premier League, may have a chance to benefit from Bayern Munich's potential acquisition of a replacement for Coman, given the lucrative offer that prompted his decision.
