Al Nassr have pulled off yet another sensational transfer coup, securing the signature of UEFA Champions League winner Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich. The French winger will now line up alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in Riyadh, forming a lethal attacking partnership designed to dominate both domestic and continental competitions.
€30 million deal sealed for Kingsley Coman
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Nassr and Bayern Munich reached a full agreement for a transfer fee in the region of €30 million. Coman has also penned a lucrative deal that will see him earn around €10 million per season in Saudi Arabia.
The move marks a significant chapter in Coman’s career, which saw him become one of Bayern’s most decorated players over eight seasons. However, recent tactical changes under new head coach Vincent Kompany reduced his role, paving the way for his departure.
A proven winner on the biggest stage
Kingsley Coman’s resume speaks for itself. The 28-year-old winger first arrived at Bayern Munich in 2015 on loan from Juventus before sealing a permanent move in 2017 for €21 million. Over the years, he became a consistent threat on the flanks, known for his lightning pace, precise dribbling, and ability to deliver in crucial moments.
Perhaps his most iconic moment came in August 2020, when he scored the winning goal in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, cementing his place in European football history.
Trophy-Laden spell in Bavaria
During his Bayern tenure, Coman played 339 matches, scoring 72 goals and providing 71 assists. His haul of 21 trophies includes:
9 Bundesliga titles
1 UEFA Champions League
1 FIFA Club World Cup
6 German Super Cups
This winning pedigree could be crucial for Cristiano Ronaldo led Al Nassr’s ambitions in both the Saudi Pro League and the AFC Champions League.
Al Nassr’s transfer statement
The signing of Kingsley Coman is part of Al Nassr’s aggressive recruitment strategy this summer. Alongside the Frenchman, the club has already secured Spanish defender Íñigo Martínez on a free transfer from Barcelona and Portuguese forward João Félix for €30 million after his loan spell at AC Milan from Chelsea. Reports suggest the total cost for Félix could rise to €50 million if performance-based bonuses are triggered.
With Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line and Coman providing width, Al Nassr’s attacking options have become even more formidable. The Riyadh-based side appears determined to build a squad capable of lifting multiple trophies in the upcoming season.
