Bayern Munich Secure Zirkzee Transfer with Buy-Back Clause

Agreement Reached with Bologna for Dutch Forward

FC Bayern Munich have finalized a deal with Joshua Zirkzee and Bologna FC to send the Dutch U21 international on loan to the Italian top-flight. According to Italian media reports, Bayern has included a release clause close to 40 million euros in the agreement.

Buy-Back Clause Option

Bild reports that Bayern has also secured a buy-back clause for Zirkzee in the range of 20-25 million euros. This clause gives Bayern the option to repurchase Zirkzee from Bologna if they desire in the future.

In addition to the buy-back clause, Bologna director Marco Di Vaio has stated that the 40 million euro release clause is only valid for Bayern Munich. This means that other clubs interested in acquiring Zirkzee will have to negotiate a different transfer fee with Bologna.

Conclusion

The inclusion of a buy-back clause demonstrates Bayern Munich's belief in Zirkzee's potential. The Bavarians have high hopes for the Dutch striker and see him as a long-term asset for the club. Zirkzee, who has been capped for the Netherlands national youth teams, will now have the opportunity to prove his worth in the competitive Italian Serie A.
