 Arijon Ibrahimović, often dubbed the "Albanian Ibrahimović," is quickly making a name for himself on the international stage. The Albanian youngster, representing Germany, left a significant mark this week during the Coppa Italia match where Frosinone triumphed 2-1 over Torino.

Ibrahimović, who joined Frosinone from Bayern Munich in the summer, was a starter in this crucial clash and notched the first goal of the match for Frosinone, setting them on the path to victory against their Torino opponents. The young talent has been receiving heaps of praise, as, at the age of 17, he is proving that he can compete at the highest levels. Meanwhile, at Frosinone, they are rubbing their hands in anticipation of what could be a brilliant coup, no matter how things unfold.

Ibrahimović's move to Frosinone was on a loan basis from Bayern, but the Italian club wisely inserted an option for a permanent transfer. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, this figure stands at a very reasonable 3.5 million euros, a sum well within reach for the Italian club, especially if the player continues to display his skills at this level.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich had no intention of letting go of the promising footballer so easily. For this reason, they included a "buy-back" clause in the deal. If Frosinone decides to pay for the player permanently in June, they must fork out 11 million euros to bring him back to Bavaria in the summer of 2024. Moreover, a year later, this amount rises to a staggering 14 million euros. These figures emphasize the confidence both clubs have in the young Albanian talent and underscore that his goal against Torino in the Coppa Italia is just the beginning of many more to come.
