Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr are closing in on a massive €35m deal to sign Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, according to several reports. The team are looking to wrap up a deal for the latter as the beginning of the 2025-26 season approaches and it looks to rebuild a strong side.
Journalist Florian Plettenburg has reported that Bayern are now open to selling Coman to Al Nassr this summer as negotiations have reached an advanced stage.
Al Nassr have sought to strengthen their team this summer after the arrival of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus as a replacement for Stefano Pioli.
Ronaldo’s team has already signed Joao Felix to bolster their attack, but remains active in the market. Coman is open to joining Al-Nassr after agreeing to a deal worth over €20 million per year, according to reports.
Bayern have opted to part ways with Coman after their summer acquisition of Luis Diaz from Liverpool. Once the move is finalised, the former will join fellow French stars Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Moussa Diaby and multiple other top names in the Saudi Pro League.
For Coman, the deal is a winner as he is reported to be getting paid double what he makes now. For Bayern, shedding his €17 million for each of the next two years was a major factor in deciding to make the move.
Bayern is off to a great start in the preseason, but the roster might not be settled just yet. Their Director of Sport, Max Eberl and his team could still have some work to do during this transfer window when it comes to incoming and outgoing transfers.
Coman could soon be teammates with Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic and Ronaldo, though he went on record to say that he prefers Lionel Messi.
Coman joined Bayern a decade back and has won nine Bundesliga titles, as well as scoring the winner in the 2020 Champions League final.
