Arijon Ibrahimović given half a season to prove himself at Bayern Munich

Arijon Ibrahimović has been informed that he will be given the first half of the season to establish his role at Bayern Munich. The club is counting on him to provide backup for Luis Díaz on the left wing following their shift in strategy after Anthony Gordon's transfer to Barcelona. Ibrahimović's performance will be assessed during the winter break to determine his future with the team. Coach Vincent Kompany has previously shown a reluctance to rotate players, but may be more willing to utilize substitutes after a busy season.
