Overview
- LAFC and Bayern confirmed on August 13 that 23‑year‑old Armindo Sieb has joined Los Angeles on a permanent contract through the 2028–29 season with a club option for 2029–30.
- The transfer is subject to routine administrative clearances and Sieb will occupy an international roster slot once his International Transfer Certificate and P‑1 visa are processed.
- Sieb leaves Bayern after six years with the club’s system and multiple loans, most notably a 12‑goal breakout for Greuther Fürth in 2023–24 and two seasons at Mainz where he made 62 appearances with five goals and three assists.
- Bayern framed the move as a pathway outcome of the Red&Gold Football partnership with LAFC, making Sieb the second player to move through that pipeline and reflecting the club’s approach to placing academy talent where they can play regularly.
- For LAFC the signing adds a young, pacey forward option who can provide depth for MLS and the 2026 Leagues Cup and gives Sieb a clearer chance at sustained first‑team minutes away from Bayern’s crowded attack.
