Sydney FC are looking to make star winger Bernie Ibini a permanent member of their squad for next season and beyond and are prepared to make an offer to sign him from Club Brugge by June.

The 24-year-old is on loan at the Sky Blues from the Belgian champions and having regained his form and fitness following a horrific injury, Sydney are hopeful of extending his second spell at the club.

Ibini has another year remaining on his contract with Brugge but Fairfax Media understands Sydney are set to make an offer to purchase him outright at the end of his loan deal.

The Sky Blues missed out on an opportunity to make the highly rated winger a permanent member of their squad two years ago by not making a transfer offer to Shanghai SIPG to sign him following his loan deal in 2014-15. Sources suggest they are not prepared to make the same mistake again.
