Augsburg fend off Werder in race for Bayern youngster

Augsburg have successfully secured the services of Bayern Munich attacker Arijon Ibrahimovic for the remainder of the 2026/27 season, according to multiple reports. The 20-year-old winger will join the German club on loan, with an €8 million option to buy the player in place, and no buy-back clause included in the deal. While Werder Bremen were also reportedly interested in Ibrahimovic, they have reportedly been outpaced by Augsburg in the race for the young talent.

Ibrahimovic previously spent last season on loan at 1. FC Heidenheim, where he made 34 appearances, scoring two goals and providing five assists. With his contract at Bayern Munich set to run until 2028, the move could provide Augsburg with a valuable boost in their pursuit of promotion back to the Bundesliga.
