Who convinces, who disappoints? How the Bayern loan players are performing | OneFootball

At the end of the season, FC Bayern is facing a major personnel issue: eleven loan players will return to Säbener Straße in the summer, marking the start of a decisive phase of squad planning for those responsible around Max Eberl and Christoph Freund – because only a fraction of these players are likely to play a long-term role at the record champions

The development of Daniel Peretz is particularly positive. After a difficult first loan spell at HSV, the Israeli has hit the ground running at Southampton FC. As the clear number one, he has impressed with strong performances and impressive results. Should Southampton take up the option to buy, it would be a win for Bayern not only in sporting terms, but also financially

Arijon Ibrahimovic has also taken an important step. At 1. FC Heidenheim, the attacking player finally gained consistent match practice and impressed with strong running values and decent scoring points. FCB are confident that he will take on a role in the professional squad in the future – possibly as a backup for Luis Díaz

Sales candidates and difficult cases

The situation is completely different with João Palhinha, who has been solid at Tottenham but has no prospects in Munich. Bayern are clearly hoping for a permanent sale – ideally for around 30 million euros

Bryan Zaragoza is also facing an uncertain future. After several loan spells without a lasting breakthrough, it is hard to imagine him staying in Munich. The situation is similar for Sacha Boey, who has failed to make a lasting impression at either FC Bayern or Galatasaray

The situation with Alexander Nübel is complicated. Although he consistently performs well at VfB Stuttgart, Jonas Urbig is still regarded internally as the ideal solution for the future in the Bayern goal. Even a termination of his contract does not seem out of the question

The younger players present a mixed picture. Lovro Zvonarek was able to establish himself as a regular in Zurich and is gaining valuable experience. Tarek Buchmann also showed signs of his potential despite renewed injury problems

The season was less pleasing for Jonah Kusi-Asare, whose loan to Fulham FC almost completely fizzled out, while Maurice Krattenmacher and Armindo Sieb were also unable to make a lasting impression at their clubs

The large number of returnees clearly shows that FC Bayern is facing an intensive summer of transfers. In addition to targeted reinforcements, the main aim is to streamline the squad and create clear prospects.
