Bayern Munich have signed 19-year-old talented attacking midfielder Kingsley Coman on a two-year loan deal from Italy's Juventus, the German club said on Sunday.
The French youth international, who made a brief substitute appearance in last season's Champions League final loss to Barcelona, has played at Juventus since 2014 after joining from Paris St Germain.
"Kingsley Coman is one of the biggest talents in European football," Bayern sports director Matthias Sammer said in a statement.
"So we are delighted we have been able to sign him for Bayern. Kingsley is quick, technically skilled and an attack-minded player. Hopefully we will benefit from having him at the club," he added.
Coman was the second player the German champions have signed from Juve this season after Chile international Arturo Vidal.
OUR VIEW
Kingsley Coman is a player of immense potential, and, according to reports, Juve had previously turned down a number of propositions from Bayern for the former PSG player. Therefore, the fact that they have now elected to allow him to leave is telling and the suspicion is that they are making room in their squad for a big arrival ahead of the transfer window closing. Juve have been tracking Julian Draxler all summer but face stiff competition from Wolfsburg for the player.
