Champions League Winner Rules Out Paris Saint-Germain Transfer "While Neymar Is There"

Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has admitted it is unlikely he returns to Paris Saint-Germain while Neymar is at the club.

Coman came through the PSG academy and made three appearances for the club before joining Italian giants Juventus in 2014.

Since then he has joined Bayern and scored the winner in the Champions League final last month, against PSG.

The Frenchman still has admiration for his boyhood side but Neymar's presence makes a move "impossible."

"It's complicated. If Neymar is on the left. No, it's almost impossible. Paris is not in my career plans," the 24-year-old told Telefoot.

"I have maybe eight to 10 years at a high level, so we can't close the door. In my head, there are memories of childhood. There is a little less good, but I kept the good memories of my time at PSG."

Coman is the youngest player to ever represent the Parisians, making his debut at the age of 16 years, eight months and four days old.

He still has a fondness for Thomas Tuchel's side but confesses leaving was the right call.

"PSG will always be my favourite club," Coman continued. "But, for me, it was the right decision to leave and maybe if I hadn't left I might not have won this Champions League.

"I didn't make an easy choice, but I always thought that, with my qualities, I could play for a big club."

Coman played 38 times for Bayern this season and his winning goal in Lisbon capped off a turbulent two years which could have seen him hang up his boots.

After returning from a serious foot problem in 2018, an emotional Coman opened up about his injury woes in an interview with TF1, and even suggested an early retirement if they continued.

"It was a very difficult year," Coman stated. "When I hurt myself, it was the end of the world for me.

"I hope I don't have to relive what I've been through, enough is enough. I will not accept a third operation - it will mean maybe my foot is not made for this level.

"I will then lead another life, an anonymous life."

Coman has managed to reignite his career and with the rise of Serge Gnabry on top of Leroy Sane's arrival, Bayern now have three of the world's top wingers on their books.
