Young Boys set to make Ivorian attacker Chris Bedia’s move permanent after impressive loan spell

Ivorian forward Chris Bedia is poised to leave 1. FC Union Berlin permanently this summer, with Swiss giants BSC Young Boys ready to exercise the €2.5 million purchase option included in his loan agreement, according to kicker.

Bedia joined Young Boys on loan last February, following an earlier loan stint at Hull City, and has thrived in Switzerland. The powerful centre-forward has already scored 20 goals in 38 competitive appearances this season, making a significant impact on the Bernese side.

For Union Berlin, where Bedia’s contract initially ran until 2027, the transfer provides a financial boost while also reflecting a practical decision, as the Ivorian striker was no longer central to the team’s plans at the Alte Försterei.

The activation of the purchase option allows both clubs and the player to benefit, making it a win-win scenario.

The move marks a significant step in Bedia’s career, solidifying his status as a key figure in Young Boys’ squad and highlighting his continued rise as one of the most productive forwards in the Swiss league this season.
