Preparations for the summer transfer window are in full swing at FC Bayern, with numerous departures on the agenda in addition to potential new arrivals. Jonathan Asp Jensen is another talented player who could be leaving the record champions permanently. Demand for the Dane is already said to be high
FC Bayern not only wants to invest in new players this summer, but also generate additional income through sales, with a particular focus on loan players and youngsters who have no realistic prospect of regular appearances in the first team
This group apparently includes Jonathan Asp Jensen. The 20-year-old was loaned out to Grasshoppers Zurich last season and certainly impressed there. The attacking midfielder attracted attention with his strong performances and developed into an important part of the team
Nevertheless, the chapter in Switzerland came to an end and the Grasshoppers have already said goodbye to the Dane, which is why he is returning to Säbener Strasse for the time being
Meanwhile, a long-term future at FC Bayern seems to be out of the question
Bayern set to sell in the summer
As reported by BILD, Munich would like to sell Asp Jensen permanently this summer, and the player is said to have already been told internally that he no longer plays a role in their sporting plans
The decision also appears to have been made on the player side, with the report stating that Asp Jensen himself is seeking a move in order to continue his development at a higher level and gain regular match practice
There are currently some indications that a suitable solution could be found in the near future, as the Dane has recommended himself to several clubs thanks to his impressive performances in Zurich
Asp Jensen scored a total of 14 points in the past season, a record that is particularly eye-catching for a young player in his position
In addition to his role in attacking midfield, the left-footer can also be deployed on the wing, giving him the flexibility that is in demand on the transfer market
Interest from several countries
According to BILD, there are now numerous interested parties, with clubs from the Bundesliga as well as clubs from France and Portugal monitoring the situation
However, it is not yet known which clubs are specifically courting the Dane, but it is clear that Asp Jensen is one of the players FC Bayern is hoping to receive a transfer fee for
For sporting director Max Eberl, this is an important part of the current squad planning. The 52-year-old has been tasked with generating additional funds through sales in order to create scope for new transfers
Asp Jensen is not the only candidate to leave: João Palhinha, Bryan Zaragoza and Alexander Nübel could also be on the move in the coming weeks
The record champions have already successfully completed the transfer of Daniel Peretz, the Israeli goalkeeper who moved permanently to Southampton FC and reportedly earned the Munich club seven to eight million euros
A sale of Asp Jensen would further strengthen the revenue side and at the same time create space in the squad. There are currently many indications that FC Bayern and the Danish talent will part ways for good this summer.
