According to Florian Plettenberg, Mainz 05 have agreed to sign Bayern Munich winger Gabriel Vidović.
When it was announced that Brajan Gruda had joined Brighton & Hove Albion earlier in the summer, there was cause for concern that the 05ers would fail to replace the 20-year-old, who was key to the club’s survival in the Bundesliga last season.
However, Mainz have been able to turn to Der Rekordmeister in their efforts to find a replacement for the German U-21 international.
As stated in the report, an agreement has been reached between Mainz and Bayern regarding a season-long loan for Vidović.
Mainz will also have the option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign, having secured a €5 million option to buy in the 20-year-old’s deal.
It is understood that the winger will undergo a medical later today before making the move to the MEWA Arena.
With Vidović’s contract set to expire at the end of the campaign, the Croatian U-21 international has signed a new deal at the Allianz Arena, seeing his stay in Bavaria extend until 2026 should he return to the club at the end of his loan move.
