This summer, Kingsley Coman followed the current trend by leaving European football and Bayern Munich to join Saudi Arabia, where he is now evolving alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in Al-Nassr. A destination that continues to divide, despite its growing popularity. Bixente Lizarazu, former French international and now a consultant for Téléfoot, strongly criticized the choice of the ex-Paris.

“No one can sell me only when you go to Saudi Arabia, you do it for sporting reasons. It is not a championship that will raise you. He could play in one of the major European championships, in England󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮 for example. It is not a choice that pulls you up. Kanté could have been recalled (in Blues), but for me, there is a form of abandonment on the sporting level when he is still young ”deplored the 1998 world champion. Kingsley Coman was well called by Didier Deschamps during the last truce of the French team. He played about thirty minutes against Iceland.
