Coman initiated his professional football journey with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, France, joining them as a trainee in July 2012. His first season saw him make a solitary appearance, and he managed two the following year. From France, Coman moved to Italian football, signing with Juventus in Serie A in July 2014.

His loan spell saw him take to the field 23 times, scoring four goals in his debut season and further contributing two goals in 19 appearances the following year.
A fruitful loan spell prompted Bayern Munich's decision to make the move permanent. In July 2017, Coman transferred from Juventus in Serie A in Italy to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga in Germany for a substantial fee of £18m. Under the guidance of the Bavarian giants, Coman's career took off.
