Before the match, Bayern’s leadership, including CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, Sports Director Max Eberl, and Christoph Freund, presented the 29-year-old with a bouquet and a collage featuring heartfelt messages. The collage bore the words: “Merci für zehn Jahre, King!”

Over his career at Bayern, Coman featured in 339 official matches, scoring 72 goals and providing 71 assists.
Unexpected Departure to Al-Nassr
Coman’s transfer to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia caught many off guard. He moved for a fee of up to 35 million euros to join the club linked with Cristiano Ronaldo. Just weeks before leaving, he had declared his commitment to Bayern, stating, “I want to stay at Bayern.”
Challenges Surrounding the Transfer
In October, Coman revealed that the circumstances of his departure were more complicated than initially perceived.
