Nigeria-eligible striker ends five-year association with Bayern with move to Bologna

Joshua Zirkzee has completed his much-publicized transfer to Italian Serie A club Bologna following a successful medical.

And in doing so, the Super Eagles-eligible striker has ended his five-year association with German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

Bologna reported on their official website on Tuesday afternoon the capture of the Netherlands U21 star of Nigerian descent on a permanent basis from Bayern Munich.

The length and financial terms of the contract signed by the talented 21-year-old have not been disclosed by Bologna.

He is making a return to Italian football albeit after an unsuccessful loan spell at Parma in the second half of the 2020-2021 campaign that saw him make four appearances as a substitute for the club, owing largely to an injury that kept him on the sidelines.

Zirkzee departs Bayern Munich after seventeen appearances in all competitions for the first team, scoring four goals.

The former Feyenoord youth teamer had a successful loan spell at Belgian club RSC Anderlecht last term with a goal involvement of 31 (18 goals, 13 assists) from 47 matches., helping them to a third place finish in the Pro League.
