Official: Coman pens new Bayern deal
Kingsley Coman has signed a new long-term deal with FC Bayern.
Bayern München have confirmed that Kingsley Coman has signed a new long-term contract.
The 25-year-old French winger, whose contract was due to expire in 2023, has put pen to paper on a new deal through 2027.
"I'm very happy because FC Bayern are one of the best clubs in the world and I know we still have a lot of opportunities and big goals here. I've been at the club since 2015 – it feels like a big family. Everything is perfect here. My best years as a footballer are still ahead of me, and I'm glad I'll be spending them at FC Bayern. My biggest goal is to win the Champions League again – and this time, please, together with our fans," said Coman.
"Players with Kingsley Coman’s ability are wanted by clubs all around the world," commented Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn.
"This contract extension is another example of how attractive our club is at the highest level internationally. Kingsley is fully committed to FC Bayern, he’s found his footballing home here. World-class players consider very carefully where they sign their contracts these days. We’re pleased that Kingsley has extended with us long-term: when he's on the ball, the fans get excited. People come to the stadium to see such players."
Bayern board member for sport Hasan Salihamidzic commented:
"We‘re very happy Kingsley Coman has committed to FC Bayern with a long-term contract. Kingsley came to FC Bayern in 2015 as one of Europe's greatest attacking talents. He has developed into a world-class player with us over the past six and a half years. He already made history with his goal in the 2020 Champions League final and now has a great chance to leave his mark on an era.
"King, with his quality as a provider and his goalscoring threat, is of utmost importance for the future of our team. Our aim is for FC Bayern to continue to compete at the top of Europe in the coming years. With the contract extensions of Kingsley, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, we have laid a strong foundation for this."
Coman has played for Bayern since 2015, making 217 appearances with 46 goals and 52 assists to his name.
