Bayern Munich forward Kingsley Coman has extended his contract with the German club that runs until 2027.
Bayern Munich confirmed the new deal for the 25-year-old French man on Wednesday.
Coman’s previous contract was due to run out in 2023 but Coman has signed on for an additional four years at the Allianz Arena.
Coman initially joined Bayern on loan in 2015 before completing a permanent transfer two years later.
He has won six Bundesliga titles, three DFB-Pokal trophies and the Champions League during his time at the club.
Speaking about his extension, Coman told Bayern’s official website: “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.”
Coman scored the winning goal in Bayern’s Champions League triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in their treble-winning 2019-20 season.
Since joining Bayern, he has made 147 Bundesliga appearances, scoring 28 goals and providing 27 assists. He has also created 189 chances for team-mates, 44 of which are defined as ‘big chances’ by Opta.
This season in 10 top-flight games, he has four league goals, against an expected goals return of 2.48, though he has yet to provide an assist despite an expected assist rate of 1.54.
Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn said: “Players with Kingsley Coman’s ability are wanted by clubs all around the world.
“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.”
Board member for sport Hasan Salihamidzic added: “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.”
