Bayern Munich's Joshua Zirkzee: Star Striker on the Move

Loan to Anderlecht Ends, Future Uncertain

Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee's season-long loan at Anderlecht has come to an end, leaving the 23-year-old's future up in the air.

Bayern Return or Italian Adventure?

Zirkzee, who is valued at 5 million euros, has been linked with a return to Bayern Munich, where he spent five years in the academy and first team. However, other clubs, including Italian side Bologna, are reportedly interested in acquiring his services.

Bologna, who finished 13th in Serie A last season, see Zirkzee as a potential replacement for Andrea Pinamonti, who has been linked with a move to Atalanta.

Anderlecht's Top Scorer

During his loan spell at Anderlecht, Zirkzee established himself as one of the club's most important players, scoring 10 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions. He was the club's top scorer in the 2021/22 season.

Bayern's Buy-Back Clause

It is reported that Bayern Munich has a buy-back clause for Zirkzee, which gives them the option to bring him back to the club in the future. This could potentially complicate any transfer to another club.

Zirkzee's agent, Rob Jansen, has stated that his client is "open to all options" regarding his future, leaving the door open for both a return to Bayern and a move to a new club.
