Lazio on the Cusp of Signing Exciting Bayern Munich Teenager in Out-Of-The-Blue Move | OneFootball

Lazio are suddenly on the verge of sealing a move for Bayern Munich youngster Arijon Ibrahimovic according to multiple sources in Germany and Italy.

The Background

The 19-year-old is considered one of the most exciting young talents in Germany, and currently represents the country’s U20 national team. Calcio fans are already familiar with the teenager who spent the previous campaign on loan at Frosinone. He made history by becoming the first player born after 2005 to score in Serie A, but his momentum was then halted by an injury.

Starving for Playing Time

Ibrahimovic returned to the base in the summer, but found little playing time at Bayern due to the great competition for starting places, so he only made three cameo appearances with the first team this season. Therefore, he has been eager to find himself a new club in January so can start picking up minutes on the pitch.

Lazio & Bayern Reach Agreement over Arijon Ibrahimovic

According to several sources including Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Lazio and Bayern Munich are ironing out the final details in their agreement for the German teenager who is now on the cusp of making his return to Serie A. The attacking midfielder should arrive on loan with an obligation to buy set at €10 million.

On the other hand, Gianluca Di Marzio talks about an option to buy for €8 million rather than an obligation, with the Bundesliga giants retaining a buy-back option for around €25 million.

Lazio’s Market Plans

Ibrahimovic is an attacking midfielder blessed with great technique, and can also play on the wings. It remains to be seen if this expected arrival will close the door on Lazio’s other transfer targets, especially Jacopo Fazzini who was very close to joining the Biancocelesti before their talks with Empoli hit a snag.
