Bayern To Keep 18-Year-Old Felipe Chávez With First Team Until Summer After First-Team Goal

Rising interest from Spain, Italy, plus Germany heightens urgency over whether the Aichach-born playmaker commits to Peru or Germany.

Overview

  • Coach Vincent Kompany is pleased with Chávez's progress and, per Sky Sport’s Kerry Hau, Bayern will delay any loan move until at least the summer.
  • LaLiga, Serie A and Germany’s 2. Bundesliga clubs have made concrete approaches for the attacking midfielder following his first-team breakthrough.
  • The teenager scored and combined with Lennart Karl in a friendly against Salzburg, bolstering his case for continued first-team involvement.
  • Chávez has appeared for Peru only in a friendly, so FIFA rules leave him eligible to switch, keeping both national teams in play.
  • German outlets urge the DFB to act quickly, while Peruvian media press the FPF to secure him with official call-ups.
