Overview
- FC Bayern officially announced that Croatian centre-back Ljubo Puljic has moved to Atalanta Bergamo with both clubs confirming the transfer.
- Bayern youth director Jochen Sauer said the move was designed to give Puljic the next development step and the club thanked him for his service to the academy.
- Puljic joined Bayern from NK Osijek in 2023 for a reported €2.8 million and last season made regular appearances for Bayern’s amateur side and the U19s.
- Atalanta has said it will bring Puljic gradually into its first-team environment so he can adapt to senior Serie A football.
- The transfer follows recent on-field contact between the clubs in the Champions League and highlights Bayern’s broader practice of moving young prospects to clubs where they can get closer to first-team minutes.
