Kingsley Coman joins Bayern Munich on loan from Juventus

Bayern Munich have signed Kingsley Coman on an initial two-year loan deal from Juventus.

France under-21 international Coman, 19, joined Juve from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, but Bayern have paid €7 million to sign the player for the next two seasons.

Juve also confirmed on their official website that Bayern would be able to make the winger's move permanent for €21m at any stage up to April 30, 2017.

Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri told a news conference on Saturday: "Coman will be leaving the club. He wanted to go.

"I think it is a good transfer operation. He played a little last season and it's only right that he moves on if he didn't feel ready to fight for his place here.

"If he does well in future, it will also be thanks to Juventus."

Coman made 20 appearances for Juve last season in all competitions and will increase Pep Guardiola's options amid continued concerns over the fitness of Franck Ribery.
