"For around the last 16 months, Bayern Munich talent Javier Fernández has been struggling with injuries. These struggles were a real shame, not least because he had really impressed prior to this injury in multiple age groups following his move from Atlético Madrid in 2023. He was certainly outgrowing Bayern's U-23s by the time of his injury when he got hurt. Fernández has finally overcome these injury issues at the time of writing, however."
"Certainly, it seems Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund is not ruling out the latter option. Speaking to Sky Germany reporter Kerry Hau, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, Freund had this to say about Fernández: "I wouldn't rule that out. Javi is a very interesting player. It's crucial that he stays healthy - but also that he can play football at a high level.""
"Another factor to consider is that the Spaniard's contract still officially runs for just 6 more months until June 2026. A recent report that the Spaniard has signed a new contract may render this problem moot, and Freund would certainly not consider a loan without a contract extension. Still, nothing is official yet for a reason. There are a lot of factors to consider in making Fernández's next move."
Javier Fernández missed about 16 months due to injuries after moving from Atlético Madrid in 2023, despite strong performances across multiple youth levels and appearing to have outgrown Bayern's U-23s before the injury. Fernández has now recovered and faces a choice between rebuilding in Regionalliga Bayern or seeking a loan to a more competitive league to accelerate development. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund did not rule out a loan and emphasized the need for Fernández to stay healthy and play at a high level. Contract status complicates options: his deal officially runs until June 2026 and Bayern would prefer an extension before approving a loan.
