Christian Michel Kofane (born 26 July 2006) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen and the Cameroon national team.
Born to Cameroonian parents, Kofane moved to France with his parents. Kofane holds dual Cameroonian-French citizenship. Kofane joined Albacete Balompié's youth sides in November 2024, after the club established a partnership with AS Nylon. After impressing with the Juvenil side by scoring six goals in six appearances, he was called up to train with the first team by manager Alberto González.
Kofane made his professional debut on 11 January 2025, starting and scoring the opener in a 2–2 Segunda División home draw against Racing de Santander. He finished the season with eight goals, attracting interest of several European clubs.
On 11 July 2025, Albacete announced that Bayer 04 Leverkusen reached an agreement for the transfer of Kofane, paying a sum higher than his €5 million release clause. He signed a four-year contract with his new club. A month later, on 15 August, he recorded his first goal and assist in a 4–0 away win over Sonnenhof Großaspach in the DFB-Pokal. Later that year, on 1 October, he netted his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 1–1 draw with PSV Eindhoven. Hence, he became the club's youngest goalscorer in the European competition, aged 19 years and 67 days old. Three days later, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 2–0 win over Union Berlin.
In September 2024, Kofane played unofficial friendly matches with the Cameroon national under-20 team. He received another call-up to the side in May 2025.
On December 1, 2025, he was called up for the first time to the Cameroon national team by David Pagou to compete in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
