Bayern Munich loan out one of their star signings
Bayern Munich are certainly oversupplied in midfield, which is why Carlo Ancelotti has decided to loan out one of their star signings this summer.
22-year-old playmaker Serge Gnabry was one of the stars of the U21 European Championships won by Germany as well as putting on a stellar performance as the team claimed the silver medal in the 2014 Rio Olympics.
This summer, Bayern Munich paid 8 million euros as Gnabry was signed from Werder Bremen, following a fantastic campaign for the Bundesliga side. But it turns out he will play for Hoffenheim next season.
However, the player himself as well as his agent showed their willingness to be loaned out in order to have more game-time than he would at the Allianz Arena.
'It was Serge's wish to be loaned out for one year to play more. I think that is a guarantee at Hoffenheim'. Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
'After one year, Serge Gnabry will return to Bayern Munich', he added. Hoffenheim finished fourth in the Bundesliga, which entitles them to the Champions League play-offs.
