After the brief return to FC Bayern, goalkeeper Shaoziyang Liu (21) draws to the partner club Los Angeles FC in the USA. The Chinese for the reserve in the MLS Next Pro is intended for the champions from 2022 and cup winner of 2024. The Munich team has been cooperating with the Los Angeles FC since March 2023.
Liu switched from his home country to FC Bayern in January 2022 for 1 million euros, for which he was never on the pitch. The goalkeeper was awarded three times to Austria. For Bundesliga club Austria Klagenfurt and the second division club Grazer AK and SV Ried, Liu never came to a professional deployment. That only changed last season when he was permanently handed over to SV Horn, for which he completed 14 games in the 2nd league.
Liu could not prevent Horn’s descent, but its market value made a large jump from 25,000 to 200,000 euros – career value. The goalkeeper returned to Munich in the summer before moving on to the States.
