Fulham signs Jonah Kusi-Asare from Bayern Munich on permanent deal
In brief
- Fulham converted Kusi-Asare's loan into permanent deal in late June 2026
- Bayern Munich secured buy-back clause and €6 million, a €1.5 million profit
- Swedish-Ghanaian forward made two senior appearances for Bayern before moving to London
From Bayern to Fulham
The Swedish-Ghanaian forward's path to Fulham began when Kusi-Asare joined Bayern Munich from Swedish club AIK Solna on February 1, 2024, for a reported €4.5 million. At Bayern, he struggled to break into the first team, managing just two senior appearances before the Bavarian club decided to loan him out.
Fulham stepped in on September 1, 2025, with a season-long loan with an option to purchase. The loan proved productive for the teenager. His performances in the Premier League convinced both Fulham and Bayern that a permanent move made sense.
The Deal and Bayern's Flexibility
Reports from late June 2026 confirm that Bayern and Fulham reached an agreement for a long-term deal, which includes a buy-back option. Bayern gets €6 million for a player who wasn't contributing to the first team, which represents a €1.5 million profit on the teenager they held for roughly two years. The buy-back clause gives the Munich club a path back to the forward should he develop into a star at Fulham.
For Fulham, the move signals confidence in Kusi-Asare's potential. The club secured him on a long-term basis without overpaying, while Bayern preserved optionality. It's a structure that works for both sides.
