Coman started in the opening game which saw Romania beat Ukraine 3-0 as well as the match against Slovakia which ended 1-1.

The move to Al Gharafa ends a seven-year association with Bucharest-based club Steaua București, having helped them to the 2023/24 league title.

Coman’s move follows that of Spaniard Joselu as the Qatari club - under the guidance of head coach Pedro Martins - look to improve on their third place finish in the league last season.

Al Gharafa have the opportunity to participate in the inaugural AFC Champions League Elite™ should they navigate their way past the preliminary stage, where they await the winners of the Sepahan FC (IR Iran) and Shabab Al Ahli Dubai (UAE) tie.
