For the second time in as many weeks, Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia is making waves in the European transfer market. The club previously made headlines in securing the signature of Cristiano Ronaldo, and now they are nearing a deal for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, according to reports. The French international, who has been with the Bavarian giants since 2015, now looks set to make the switch to the Saudi top flight, with the financials of the deal making it increasingly likely to happen.
Coman, who has made over 200 appearances for Bayern, has long been considered one of the brightest young prospects in the game. He has scored 33 goals and recorded 36 assists for the German giants, winning seven league titles, four domestic cups, the Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup. He has also been a key contributor for France on the international stage, representing his country at the senior level since 2017.
According to reports, Coman's impending transfer could cost Al Nassr upwards of 35 million, which would be a new record fee for a Saudi-to-European transfer. The financial might of the deal has been facilitated by the Saudi government and their Public Investment Fund, which has been tasked with bringing more major sporting events and athletes to the region. Whether Coman will prove to be a short-term luxury for Al Nassr, or if he will be enticed to stick around and help to grow the sport in the region remains to be seen.
