It’s a $24 million option, and will bind Coman to Bayern through the 2019-20 season.
“Kingsley Coman is a crucial player for the future of our team, so we’ve decided to exercise the option,” commented Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “Kingsley is a promising player with great potential. We’re convinced he’ll help us in the coming years.”
Coman, Renato Sanches, and Joshua Kimmich are all under the age of 22.
