Bayern Loans 17-Year-Old Gibson Adu Back to Unterhaching From January in Disciplinary Move

The teenager begins a supervised return to his former club presented as an educational step.

Overview

  • FC Bayern confirmed Adu will join SpVgg Unterhaching on loan at the start of the winter window, with training already underway at Haching’s U19.
  • Unterhaching president Manfred Schwabl said the plan is for Adu to train with the U19 through year-end and, if he meets expectations, join the first team from January.
  • Bayern and multiple outlets describe the arrangement as an educational or disciplinary measure, while specific allegations about curfew breaches stem from tabloid reports not independently verified.
  • Adu’s progress stalled this season after a muscle injury and a blocked loan to SCR Altach, where UEFA rules prevented registering the minor, leaving him with just one appearance for Bayern II.
  • Adu remains under contract with Bayern until 2027, and club and mentors at Unterhaching will assess his conduct and development to determine his longer-term prospects.
