Al Nassr have officially secured the signature of French winger Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich in a deal worth slightly under €30 million. The Saudi Pro League club has successfully completed negotiations after weeks of intensive talks, bringing one of Europe’s most experienced wingers to Riyadh.
The 29-year-old winger has agreed to a three-year deal with Al Nassr, representing a long-term commitment to the Saudi Arabian project. This contract structure provides the club with a proven performer while offering Coman the financial security and playing time that attracted him to the Middle East.
The completion follows Bayern Munich’s initial resistance to lower offers from the Saudi club. Bayern initially rejected a €22m offer but are now in advanced talks, with the proposed transfer fee reportedly rising to around €30m. The German champions eventually accepted terms that satisfied their valuation of the French international.
Medical and Signature This Week
All remaining formalities will be completed within days, with Coman scheduled to undergo his medical examination and sign his contract this week. The swift progression from agreement to completion shows both clubs’ eagerness to finalize the transfer before the Saudi transfer window closes.
Coman’s arrival continues Al Nassr’s ambitious recruitment strategy following their recent acquisitions. After Inigo Martinez, and João Félix, Coman could be a name who can be switched to Al Nassr this summer. The French winger joins this stellar cast as part of their championship pursuit alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Saudi club identified Coman as their primary target for the winger position throughout the summer. Al Nassr have made him a top priority and are ready to push hard for his signature, with the 29-year-old open to a Saudi Pro League move. Their persistence ultimately convinced both player and selling club.
Bayern Squad Refresh Strategy

Contract Until 2027 at Bayern
