After weeks of negotiations, Bayern Munich and Al Nassr finalized the transfer details for Kingsley Coman.

BAYERN AND AL NASSR: SEASON SO FAR

Bayern Munich finished as winners in the Bundesliga last season and were knocked out early in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Coman struggled with injuries, appearing in only 21 Bundesliga matches and scoring 4 goals with 3 assists. Last season, he scored nine goals and provided six assists in 45 appearances for Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Al Nassr finished third in the Saudi Pro League, 5 points behind Al Hilal and 13 behind Al Ittihad. They are determined to strengthen their squad for a bigger title push and beat several European clubs to sign Coman. Al Nassr aims to attract top European talent to bolster their chances of claiming the Saudi Pro League title.

WHAT NEXT FOR BOTH CLUBS?

Coman is set to travel to Riyadh to undergo a medical and finalize the deal. He will join stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané at Al Nassr, as at his new club, his likely teammates include these renowned players. Bayern must now fill the gap left by the winger as they prepare for their Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig next week. They are currently favorites for the title and will want to have a strong start to the season. Al Nassr will look to integrate Coman quickly ahead of their crucial league match against Al Ittihad, who sit just one point above them in the standings. Both clubs face key fixtures that could shape their seasons in the coming weeks.
