Arijon Ibrahimović is set to leave Bayern Munich on loan, with FC Augsburg agreeing a deal to sign the young attacker, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Romano reports that Bayern Munich and Augsburg reached an agreement for a loan move that will include a buy option. Ibrahimović is expected to undergo his medical this afternoon before the transfer can be completed.
The move represents an important opportunity for Ibrahimović, who has been viewed as one of the more promising young attacking players within the Bayern Munich setup. At 20-years-old, regular first-team football will be crucial for his continued development, and Augsburg could provide him with the platform to establish himself at Bundesliga level.
The inclusion of a buy option makes the agreement particularly interesting from Bayern Munich’s perspective. While the club would retain the possibility of bringing Ibrahimović back into its plans, Augsburg will have the opportunity to make the move permanent if he impresses during his loan spell.
For Ibrahimović, the immediate priority will be earning consistent minutes and proving that he can make an impact in the Bundesliga.
With the deal reportedly agreed and his medical scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Ibrahimović appears set for a new chapter away from Bayern Munich. Now, the focus will turn to whether he can make the most of his opportunity at Augsburg and force his way into the Bundesliga spotlight. Sky Germany’s Kerry Hau had financial details on the option to buy:

In recent days, there was friction between Ibrahimović, his camp, and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl over statements that Eberl made last week. Ibrahimović was reportedly blindsided by Eberl saying he was available for a loan or sale after a summer of being told he would play a role on the first team.
With that, a move was likely necessary as the relationship between the parties might be damaged. Regardless of the drama, Ibrahimović should get a chance to prove himself with FC Augsburg, who might be a feisty deal to deal with in the Bundesliga this season.
