Heading to the Premier League: Bayern confirm another departure! | OneFootball

Jonah Kusi-Asare was still considered a transfer candidate on Deadline Day, but now the young center forward has joined FC Fulham.

What began to take shape on Monday is now official. Jonah Kusi-Asare is joining FC Fulham on loan. In an official press release from FC Bayern, it states: “FC Bayern has extended the contract of Jonah Kusi-Asare and is loaning the 18-year-old to English Premier League club FC Fulham until the end of the season. The Swedish U21 international joined the FC Bayern Campus at the beginning of 2024.”

According to Sky, Munich will receive a loan fee of four million euros. In addition, there is said to be a purchase option, with the record champions reportedly securing a buy-back clause.

Freund on Kusi-Asare: “We will closely accompany him”

In the press release, Christoph Freund, sporting director of FC Bayern, said: “Jonah has developed very well with us over the past one and a half years and was able to make his professional debut in his first full season in Munich. He has excellent qualities and should now gain further valuable experience at the top European level. We will closely accompany him and are convinced that he will take the next steps in his development and continue to mature at Fulham.”

Kusi-Asare took part in the entire summer preparation with the first team. There, the Swede was able to draw attention to himself, especially in the friendly matches. However, due to the transfer of Nicolas Jackson, the youngster has little chance of playing time. Therefore, a departure for the striker was already on the horizon.

Previously, Kusi-Asare was considered a backup for Harry Kane. However, Nicolas Jackson can now fill the number nine position should the Englishman be unavailable for Munich. There is no information yet regarding the amount of the purchase option in the Kusi-Asare deal.
