In the summer, FC Bayern sold Joshua Zirkzee to FC Bologna for 8.5 million euros. In Italy, the Dutchman became the focus of top European clubs such as Arsenal FC. But a return to Säbener Straße is not ruled out thanks to a clause. Supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has now commented on this option in an interview.
Joshua Zirkzee will probably leave Bologna FC after the season. However, it is still completely unclear where the 22-year-old will continue his career. The 22-year-old is unlikely to be short of offers, as he has already scored ten league goals this season and is currently on course for the Champions League with his club.
Recently, FC Arsenal and Manchester United, among others, were traded as buyers for the former FC Bayern striker.
But there is even talk of Zirkzee returning to Munich. A buyback clause would make this possible. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, this is 40 million euros.
Will Joshua Zirkzee return to FC Bayern?
In an interview with “Gazzetta dello Sport”, supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was asked about a possible return of the Serie A shooting star to FC Bayern.
“We’ve just got a new sports director, Max Eberl. I don’t want to interfere in his work. He has to prove that he has the great qualities that I think he has. I don’t want to influence him. I don’t know whether the clause Whether it is activated or not, it is part of the market that will take place in the summer,” said the 68-year-old, referring to Zirkzee.
The Lippstadt native is now completely convinced of the attacker’s qualities. “He won important games for us. I’m happy for him that he’s doing well, he deserves it. I’ve always seen him play well for us. His bad luck was that he had someone like Lewandowski in front of him,” recalled Rummenigge.
