Felipe Chávez, Armindo Sieb, Noël Aséko Nkili, Grayson Dettoni and Jussef Nasarawe are just some of the names that have the left Bayern in this manner. Even if there is no option to buy, Bayern make it clear that they are willing to offload their talented youngsters for an affordable fee. As long as, of course, the Bavarians retain an appropriate buy back clause to ensure they profit if the player’s value quickly shoots up.

With this in mind and with summer transfer window plans being realized all across Europe, it is possible to look with a critical eye on which talents will return to Munich. Furthermore, the German tradition of saying goodbye to exiting players in the last home game of the season helps hint at who may or may not stay with their loan clubs. A few of the players on loan in Germany are certainly returning to Munich but some loanees were left off of the list of honored departing players.
