Bayern joins Riyadh to win, and becomes a teammate with Ronaldo to achieve a leap in life

Saudi giant Riyadh Victory officially announced that the transfer fee is about 30 million euros, including additional bonuses. This deal marks the official opening of a new chapter in Koeman's career and also an important step for him to become teammates with Ronaldo.

It is reported that Koeman will sign a contract with Riyadh for three years, with an annual salary of up to 20 million to 25 million euros, and a very generous salary. This figure far exceeds his income during his time at Bayern, achieving a major leap in the economics of his career.

Koeman's annual salary during his time at Bayern was as high as 17 million to 18 million euros, making him one of the highest-paid players in the team. However, as club sports director Max Ebertell promotes salary structure adjustments to reduce the burden on high-paying and low-production players, Koeman's departure has long been included in the plan. Especially after his performance last season failed to meet expectations, his future is even more uncertain.

Last season, Koeman played 45 games for Bayern, contributing 9 goals and 6 assists, but frequent injuries seriously affected his appearance stability, averaging only 46 minutes per game. This data failed to completely satisfy coach Vincent Kompani, which also caused his market valuation to shrink sharply from the originally expected 50 million euros to 30 million euros.

In fact, Koeman had an affair with the Saudi professional league as early as last summer, when Riyadh Crescent wanted to introduce him, but he chose to stay in Europe. Now, facing the generous contract and new challenges issued by Riyadh, Koeman has finally decided to go to Saudi Arabia.

It is worth mentioning that Riyadh victory ushered in a major change this summer: he hired famous coach Jorge Jesus to coach and signed João Felix (from Chelsea) and Inigo Martinez (from Barcelona), and his lineup strength has been greatly improved. Koeman's arrival will further enhance the team's offensive firepower from the wing.

In addition, Koeman will reunite with former Bayern teammate Mane in Saudi Arabia, who has won from Bayern to Riyadh in 2023 for 30 million euros. Now, with the football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Koeman will start a new stage of his career in a star-studded environment.
