Juventus manager Allegri confirms Kingsley Coman will leave club: 'He wanted to go'
Kingsley Coman's brief time at Juventus has come to an end.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's match against Roma, manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed the 19-year-old French attacker, who was signed on a free transfer just last summer, will depart the club prior to the closure of the transfer window next week.

Coman, who scored once and added a pair of assists in 20 appearances last season, has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich for the better part of a month. He now looks destined to follow Arturo Vidal, who left the Italian club for the German juggernaut earlier in the summer.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported Friday that Coman will join Bayern on a loan deal that includes a €25-million option to buy. Considering Juventus acquired the blistering Frenchman for free, Allegri seems content with what seems to be a tidy bit of business.
"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."
