Surprising personnel decision in FC Bayern’s youth ranks: The German record champions will loan Gibson Adu to SpVgg Unterhaching at the start of the winter transfer period. According to a media report, the 17-year-old’s recurring indiscipline was the decisive factor for the temporary separation.
As FC Bayern announced on Monday evening, Gibson Adu will be training again with SpVgg Unterhaching from this week, from which he was only released in the summer of 2024.
This means the center forward remains in the Bavarian Regional League. At the beginning of October, he played his only game of the season for Munich’s second representative team, after initially being slowed down by a torn muscle bundle and shortly afterwards unsuccessfully being loaned out to SCR Altach. Due to his minority, Adu could not be granted permission to play; UEFA regulations did not allow this.
Coach Fabio Ingolitsch told the “Vorarlberger Nachrichten” at the time: “Gibson said goodbye to us with tears in his eyes. Even though he was only with us for ten days, it was bitter for such a young player.”
In Unterhaching, Adu will play for promotion to the 3rd league in the future, Unterhaching is currently in second place behind Nuremberg II. His working paper at FC Bayern is valid until 2027.
Rumors about indiscipline at FC Bayern
Whether Adu will return to Säbener Straße after his loan will largely depend on how he presents himself in Unterhaching in the next few months.
Because: According to “tz”, his return to the gaming association is an “educational measure” after repeated disciplinary misconduct. Adu is said to have attracted negative attention in this regard at his previous stations in Mainz and Unterhaching.
When he signed up, FCB youth boss Jochen Sauer was still convinced that Adu would “make his way in professional football”. Apparently the youngster will have to show a fundamentally different face from now on.
