Confirmed: FC Bayern II send German-American prospect back to MLS

Although an agreement to keep FC Dallas prospect Justin Ché on the Bayern campus was thought to be in place, FC Bayern II confirmed on Wednesday that the 17-year-old defender would be sent back to the States.

After eight appearances for FC Bayern II, the one American player picked up by FC Bayern II after a January exchange program will be leaving the Bundesrepublik. Bayern campus manager Joachim Sauer, speaking to transfermarkt's German website, acknowledged that the youngster "did well" during his brief sojourn in Germany, but would be headed back.

While the reasons for suspending an agreement for further cooperation were not revealed, one may assume it relates to the need for Bayern's junior team to offload players after their relegation to the fourth German footballing flight. 
 

During his time on the campus of the German giants, Ché earned his first call-up to the US Men's national team. The teenager is also eligible to play for Germany through his mother and expressed interest in potentially doing so. 
 

"We sincerely value our partnership with FC Dallas and the Hunt Family, which began in 2018," FCB board member Jörg Wacker said in reference to the decision, "We will continue to monitor Justin's progress with both FC Dallas in and the USMNT. He is a talented young player and we expect him to have a very successful career. He will remain an FC Dallas player for the time being."
