FC Köln did not exercise the option to buy Felipe Chávez. The 19-year-old returns to Munich. Chávez was loaned from FC Bayern Munich to 1. FC Köln six months ago and joined the team on a loan basis in the winter break. At Bayern, the German-Peruvian played in the youth team and was supposed to gain experience in Cologne. However, the loan did not go as hoped for the player. Chávez has seven appearances in the Bundesliga for FC Köln. The midfielder played only 96 minutes on the pitch, played only once more than 20 minutes and was thus used exclusively as a substitute. Seven times, the 19-year-old was not even in the squad. In the duel against his home club, FC Bayern Munich, the player could have put himself in the spotlight again. But René Wagner left the young talent on the bench. A reaction to a late arrival of the young talent to a meeting. To exclude him completely from the matchday squad, it was already too late in the last game of the previous season. Chávez has not certainly advertised himself. In training sessions, the 19-year-old had shown strong aptitudes, but was overall still a good piece away from more. The midfielder returns to Munich for now. What will happen to Chávez next is still open. Unlike the departures of Özkacar and Lund, FC sports director Thomas Kessler did not comment on the player and the decision this time. Chávez himself also did not issue a statement on his departure.
