Bayern Munich winger, Kingsley Coman is reportedly getting closer to joining Al-Nassr as the Saudi club waits for final approval from the Bundesliga champions. The 29-year-old Frenchman was offered a three-year contract with a lucrative salary to convince him to make the move.
Former Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus star joined Bayern in 2015 and has won nine Bundesliga titles, as well as scoring the winner in the 2020 Champions League final. Last season, he scored seven goals and provided four assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
The Riyadh-based club have been pursuing the French international relentlessly in recent days, and now, the finish line is in sight. The deal on the table would hand Coman an eye-watering salary of between €25-€30 million a year.
After finishing in third place in the Saudi Pro League last season, Al Nassr made a managerial change by getting rid of Stefano Pioli and replacing him with former Benfica, Flamengo and Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus.
They have also been active in the transfer market, with their most notable addition being the £43.7 million capture of Joao Felix from Chelsea.
Al Nassr are intensifying their transfer push, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealing on his X handle that Kingsley Coman’s switch to the Saudi giants is edging closer, and the deal could be finalised soon, with the club now awaiting Bayern Munich’s final approval. In his post, he stated:
“Kingsley Coman’s move to Al Nassr can be done soon as Saudi club waits for the final green light from Bayern.
Coman already said yes, as revealed.”
Softfootball understood that Coman had intention of leaving Bayern last summer but ended up changing his mind. However, the arrival of Luis Diaz from Liverpool for a fee of £65.5 million has pushed him further down the pecking order and the 29-year-old is poised to move on.
Kingsley Coman could soon be teammates with Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic and Ronaldo. This potential transfer would represent a significant new challenge in Coman’s career as he looks to take on a fresh experience in Saudi Arabia. Both clubs are expected to finalise details soon.
