More and more young US talents can draw attention to themselves. One or the other jewel from the States is already running in the Bundesliga. Two could soon make it to Bayern.
Justin Che, defender of FC Dallas, was already on loan in Munich for almost half a year. For the second team in the third division, the 17-year-old convinced across the board. However, the Bavarians surprisingly refrained from a permanent transfer – for the time being. Because it is still considered likely that the defender will sooner or later switch to the German record champions.
The youngster could be available for around two million euros in the coming year at the latest. Since Bayern have a cooperation with Dallas, the ways are short anyway. And could bring another youngster from Texas to the Isar.
The 18-year-old center forward Ricardo Pepi made his debut for the US national team during the most recent international break. And what a debut he was allowed to celebrate. In the 4-1 win in the World Cup qualifying against Honduras, Pepi was right in the starting line-up and delivered with one goal and two assists.
In the MLS, the 1.85m tall attacker has already scored twelve goals and two assists in 24 games this year. For an only 18-year-old, an impressive rate that the Bayern bosses didn’t seem to have escaped.
According to the journalist and MLS expert Jaime Ojeda the Bavarians have already registered their interest. In addition, four clubs from Italy are said to be interested. Only AC Florence is mentioned by name.
Pepi was also in Munich as part of the cooperation and trained in the Bayern youth team. In any case, his trainer in Dallas raves about the attacker with Mexican roots. “This boy is extremely hungry,” said Luchi Gonzalez, who, however, will no longer train Pepi. Dallas parted ways with the coach on Sunday night.
He said earlier that he wasn’t afraid that Pepi might pick up the phone. On the contrary: “I don’t see this boy changing much. In fact, I see that he is really putting all this attention on wanting to work even harder and making his club and his family proud and his fans more proud of him. Me see a clear focus, “said Gonzalez. A focus that Pepi could soon bring to Bayern.
