Bayern's Petersen set for Werder Bremen loan move

EXCLUSIVE
By Maximilian Bensinger & Falko Blöding

Nils Petersen is heading for the Bayern Munich exit on a temporary basis as the Champions League finalists are ready to farm the attacker out on loan to Werder Bremen, Goal.com can reveal.

The Werderaner are eager to add some fresh blood to their attack in the summer transfer window due to the imminent departure of Markus Rosenberg and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of Claudio Pizarro, and they see the 23-year-old Petersen as the ideal replacement.

Bayern are reluctant to sell the attacker after only one season at the Allianz Arena, but are open to a loan move in order to let him gain valuable first-team experience in the Bundesliga.

Petersen joined Bayern Munich from Energie Cottbus in the summer of 2011, but has so far failed to secure a regular spot in the Bavarians' first team.

The former Germany Under-21 international is unlikely to pick up more playing time next season as Bayern are looking to sign a new attacker this summer, and both parties are therefore open to a loan move.

Petersen has a contract with Bayern until the summer of 2014.
