Serge Gnabry is moving from FC Bayern München to fellow Bundesliga side Hoffenheim on loan with immediate effect. The 21 year-old, who played for Werder Bremen last season and signed a three-year deal at Bayern in June, is being loaned out to the Europa League participants for one year until 30 June 2018.

“Serge expressed a wish to go out on loan for a year in order to get more match experience,” said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. “He’s guaranteed to get that at a high level in Hoffenheim. After a year Serge will return to FC Bayern.” The CEO of FC Bayern München AG continued: “On behalf of the club I wish Serge Gnabry all the best in Hoffenheim and also thank Hoffenheim for the earnest and constructive discussions which led to this agreement.”
