Arp set to join FC Bayern by 2020

Fiete Arp is set to sign for FC Bayern München either at the end of this season or at the end of the 2019/2020 season. HSV sporting director Ralf Becker added that “Fiete is still fully focused on helping HSV secure promotion and an immediate return to the Bundesliga.”

Hamburger SV striker Fiete Arp will join FC Bayern München by 1st July 2020 at the very latest. Arp, HSV and FC Bayern have all agreed on the flexible terms of the transfer. The 19-year-old striker could join the record Bundesliga champions in summer 2019 or stay in Hamburg for a further season and join FC Bayern in time for the 2020/2021 season. Ultimately, it is exclusively Fiete Arp’s decision for when he would like to leave HSV.

HSV sporting director Ralf Becker had positive assessments regarding the announcement. “The transfer negotiations with FC Bayern München were constructive and fair. The relegation from the Bundesliga hit Fiete hard and initially, he definitely wants to stay and help HSV secure promotion and an immediate return to the top flight. He has taken on this aim and this certainly won’t change in the near future.”
