Welcome back to another season of Bavarian Loan Works. We have seen some loanees from last season sign permanent deals with the clubs they were at, sign deals with completely different clubs, or come back to Munich to play with either the first or second team. This season there are only 18 loanees so far. Half of them come from the first team, seven from the second team, and just two from the Frauen team at the moment. Past readers will recognize some names and teams, but some are completely new.
Take a look at what the loanees have done in the month of August and what comes next.
