Terms of the 18-year-old's transfer were not disclosed. It was also revealed that Markus Krösche and the SGE administrative team consider Bautista to be a long-term prospect. The teenager will report directly to the reserves and may potentially be loaned out. Both Krösche and his newly appointed sporting director Timmo Hardung noted that they had no plans to throw the youngster in straight away.
"Davis is a very talented player who we undoubtedly trust to make the ambitious leap from South America to Europe," Hardung is quoted as saying in a club statement, "We want to build him up step by step and help him realize his potential for the Bundesliga. With a view to regular competitive practice, we could initially consider a loan."
