Returning to Bayern Ibrahimovic is back with his parent club Bayern Munich following a loan period at Heidenheim.

Impact Ibrahimovic is coming off an interesting Bundesliga campaign in which he served on both wings, scoring two goals and four assists across 32 games played (25 starts). He also emerged as a regular set-piece taker for Heidenheim during his loan spell. It will be a tougher challenge for him to earn a place in Bayern's rotation, with the possibility of another loan or transfer still open, unless he stays as a depth option behind Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, Lennart Karl and Jamal Musiala.
