Arijon Ibrahimovic will return to Serie A after his year at Frosinone. FC Bayern have loaned the 19-year-old attacking talent to Lazio for the remainder of the season. The Italians then claim to have a purchase option, at the end of which the Munich company could activate a buyout clause. In his statement, the German record champions only talk about a six-month loan and obviously have a high opinion of the young professional.

“Arijon is a young player with great prospects and who is constantly developing,” Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said of the Nuremberg native. “He was able to gain valuable experience in Serie A last season and is now expected to take the next steps at Lazio. Arijon has been playing for FC Bayern since his youth: we want to support players like him, he gives his all in every session and now needs continuous playing time at the highest level. We will continue to follow him closely because he brings everything with him.

After two short appearances, Ibrahimovic is yet to have any significant playing time in the Bundesliga. Even in the Champions League and DFB Cup, he was only allowed to play briefly once as a substitute. At Frosinone, he played almost 600 minutes in 18 league and cup games last season.

FC Bayern will receive a double-digit sum for Ibrahimovic

A sum of 8 to 10 million euros has been mentioned in recent media regarding the option to buy Lazio. FC Bayern is expected to pay 20 million euros for the buyout option.

“Playing time is extremely important. Maybe in January we will have the opportunity to find a suitable loan for one or two players,” sports director Max Eberl recently announced. A loan for defender Adam Aznou (18) is still possible. On the other hand, , the Munich team is not considering such a model for striker Mathys Tel (19) “With Mathys he is fully part of our planning,” said Eberl “The offensive team is wide, but not. too much wide. »
