Bayern Munich sign Kingsley Coman to contract extension through 2023

Published on: 21 December 2017

Despite the final scoreline of 2-1 in Bayern's favor, the FC guys discuss whether the second half displayed underlying flaws for Munich.

Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has signed a contract extension committing him to the Bundesliga champions until 2023, the club have announced.

Coman, 21, has already lifted five domestic league titles in three different countries, winning Ligue 1 with Paris Saint-Germain, Serie A at Juventus and the Bundesliga in successive seasons since he joined Bayern in 2015 from Juve -- initially on a two-year loan before the Bavarians made the deal permanent in April.

"I am very happy and pleased that I'll play for this club for a long time. I feel very much at home at Bayern and in Munich," Coman said.

Coman has signed on for a further three years at Bayern -- his contract was due to expire in 2020, but will now run until June 30, 2023. He has scored 12 goals in 84 games for Bayern and has become a regular starter during interim coach Jupp Heynckes' fourth term at the club, featuring in 15 of Bayern's 17 league games up to the winter break.

"Coman is a player with huge potential," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

"He has developed fantastically well this year and deservedly became a full France international. We are very pleased secure his services on a long-term basis and are convinced that he will play a huge part in Bayern's future."

The Paris-born winger has won 15 international caps for France, scoring one goal.
