Bayern Offer Arijon Ibrahimović New Deal and Plan to Keep Him as a Versatile Squad Player

Overview

• Bayern have offered 20-year-old academy graduate Arijon Ibrahimović a contract extension and do not intend to send him on another loan, with the club saying it will sell him if he refuses the deal.
• The offer was reported late Thursday and reflects Bayern’s plan to use Ibrahimović as a multi-role backup who can cover wide and attacking midfield positions rather than as a guaranteed starter.
• Ibrahimović impressed at Heidenheim in 2024/25, playing 34 games and recording two goals and five assists while logging strong underlying chance-creation numbers reported as 12.44 xG+xA.
• His 2024/25 season also showed clear versatility and pace, with Transfermarkt listing appearances across left wing, right wing and attacking midfield and Bundesliga.com recording his top speed above 35 km/h.
• Clubs in the Bundesliga, the Premier League and the Eredivisie have made concrete approaches, so Bayern faces a choice that could either keep a cheap, versatile squad option in Munich or turn a rising asset into a sale where the player would get regular minutes.
