Coman bids farewell to Bayern before move to Saudi side Al Nassr
France winger Kingsley Coman said goodbye to teammates at Bayern Munich as he moved to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr on Friday.
Bayern confirmed Coman's exit after 339 games with the club, scoring 72 goals and setting up 71.
Coman will join Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Joao Felix in the Al Nassr forward line.
German media reported that Bayern received a fee of around 30 million euros ($35 million). Coman's contract at Bayern was set to end in 2027.
The 29-year-old took to social media to announce his departure, after a decade at the club.
"This club will always be a part of me and I wish Bayern nothing but continued success in the seasons to come. From the bottom of my heart, thank you," Coman said in a post accompanied by a video montage.
"It's hard to believe that almost 10 years have passed since I made Munich my home aged 19."
Coman arrived in Munich from Juventus in 2015 on a two-year loan, which was made permanent.
Since then, Coman has won nine Bundesliga titles and three German Cups.
In addition, Coman scored the only goal in Bayern's 2020 Champions League final win over former side Paris Saint-Germain in Lisbon.
In a statement, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said Coman "earned an eternal place in the club’s history with his goal in the 2020 Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain."
"King will always be part of FC Bayern, and we wish him all the best for his new challenge."
Born in Paris, Coman has played 58 times for France, scoring eight times.
Earlier on Friday, Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed the club was in "final discussions" with the Saudi club over a potential transfer.
