Report: Bayern Munich looking to offload highly successful loanee Jonathan Asp Jensen

Kicker has learned from both FC Bayern circles and the player’s Danish environment that Asp Jensen has no future at FC Bayern and is not planned for the professional squad. Instead, the club is aiming for a sale. His contract runs until 2028. But why? Kicker believes they have an answer (as @iMiaSanMia\_GER also captures): It remains unclear whether FC Bayern would leave itself a backdoor in the event of a sale, for example in the form of a buy-back option. In Vincent Kompany’s squad, all midfield positions are realistically filled, so Asp Jensen would get too little playing time.

BFW Analysis

As a trained #10 that frequently played on the left side in Zürich, Asp Jensen should qualify as more of a forward. With the departures of Nicolas Jackson and Raphaël Guerreiro, two players are leaving the club and will leave the team a little short on forwards. Of particular need is a player on the left that can serve as backup to Luis Díaz. Perhaps, if Bayern sign all their targets, there will be no space for the Danish talent. But, at the time of writing in May, it would very strange to rule out a chance for Asp Jensen to join the first team squad for pre-season and show what he can do. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
