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
Bayern Munich’s willingness to sell shows their desire to refresh their squad with younger talent. The German club appears willing to sell Coman as they look to refresh their squad with younger talent and reinvest the funds. This approach allows them to recoup significant value while planning for the future.
Coman’s decision is a change of heart from his previous stance on Saudi football. Last summer, Kingsley Coman preferred to stay in Europe, despite the interests of Saudi Arabia. His openness to the move this time suggests a shift in priorities and career objectives.
Contract Until 2027 at Bayern
The transfer ends Coman’s contract at Bayern Munich, which was set to run until June 2027. Coman is under contract until June 2027, carries a market value of €30 million (per Transfermarkt). Bayern secured good value by matching his market valuation in the current deal.
Coman will now team up with Cristiano Ronaldo and the star-studded Al Nassr attack. His pace and crossing ability should complement Ronaldo’s finishing, creating an exciting partnership that could prove devastating in Saudi football and continental competitions.
The French international brings vast Champions League and international tournament experience to Al Nassr. His success with Bayern Munich, including multiple Bundesliga titles and Champions League triumph, provides the winning mentality that Al Nassr seeks for their ambitious project.
With his pace, dribbling ability, and creative flair, Coman should make an immediate impact in Saudi football. His European experience and technical quality give him advantages that could translate quickly to success in his new environment.
Squad Depth Enhancement
Coman’s arrival provides Al Nassr with genuine world-class depth in attacking positions. The competition for places should elevate performance levels across the squad while giving the coaching staff tactical flexibility for different match situations.
This transfer shows Al Nassr’s continued financial strength in the transfer market. Their ability to attract and afford players of Coman’s caliber sends a strong message about their determination to compete at the highest level both domestically and internationally.
