Bayern Offer Ibrahimović New Deal as European Clubs Circle
The club has proposed an extension to keep the 20-year-old as a versatile first-team squad option and will consider a sale if he refuses to sign.
Overview
- In early June Bayern offered Arijon Ibrahimović a contract extension and do not plan another loan, with Sky Germany reporting the club will sell him if he declines because his current deal runs until 2027.
- Several clubs in the Premier League, Bundesliga and Eredivisie have made concrete approaches, including Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart and PSV Eindhoven.
- Ibrahimović earned renewed attention after a strong 2024/25 loan at Heidenheim, where he played 34 matches and recorded two goals and five assists after earlier, low‑minute loans in Italy.
- Bayern see him as a pacey, positionally flexible wide player who could fill a role similar to Raphaël Guerreiro as a regular squad option in the club’s front three.
- German reports say Bayern would seek a buy‑back clause if they sell him, leaving the player to choose between fighting for minutes at Bayern or moving for more regular game time.
