Felipe Chávez has joined Köln on loan from Bayern for the rest of the season as the 18-year-old looks to gain experience in the Bundesliga. The Peru international recently signed a long-term contract with the record champions.
Christoph Freund, sporting director: “Pippo is a young player who’s already being looked at by many top clubs, and we at Bayern have a clear plan to develop him. He should now make regular appearances in the Bundesliga at Köln and take the next step. Felipe is a really good player with an excellent left foot and lots of potential for the future.”
Born in the Bavarian town of Aichach, Chávez moved to the Bayern Campus from Augsburg’s academy in summer 2019, working his way through the youth teams. He has so far made 19 appearances for the reserves in the Regionalliga Bayern (four goals, two assists) and made his first-team debut in the 8-1 win over Wolfsburg in January. His second appearance for Vincent Kompany’s team was against Augsburg. The teenager also earned his first senior cap for Peru against Chile last October.
