Kingsley Coman has bid adieu to his former club, Bayern Munich, after signing a three-year deal with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. The 25-year-old, who was out of contract at Bayern Munich, made 339 appearances for the Bavarian giants, scoring 72 goals and setting up 71, since he joined the Bundesliga heavyweights in 2015.
The French winger won everything there was to be won at the club level during his time in Germany, including the Bundesliga title, the German Cup, and the Champions League.
His move to Al Nassr, which will be officially confirmed once the 25-year-old undergoes a medical and obtains a work permit, will see him join a host of other big names at the club.
Al Nassr, managed by French coach Rudi Garcia, has already announced the signing of former Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on a free transfer.
The club is hoping to capitalize on the recent lifting of a Saudi Arabian government ban on sponsorships related to sports. They are now expected to compete with Newcastle for the signing of Colombian forward Radamel Falcao, who played under Garcia at Porto.
The departure of Coman, who was instrumental in France's 2018 World Cup win, leaves Bayern Munich with a void to fill ahead of the upcoming season.
The club has been linked with a move for Manchester City's Leroy Sane and Leeds' Raphinha as it looks to add more firepower to its attack.
Coman's exit is also a boost for Paris Saint-Germain, who are keen to tie down fellow French winger Angel Di Maria to a new contract.
The future of PSG flyer Mbappe, whose deal expires next year, remains uncertain despite the capital club's willingness to extend his contract.
This move has certainly caused waves in the football community; Coman's next move will be something to keep an eye on.
