Landon Donovan has been training with Bayern Munich the past week and a half and has impressed coach Jurgen Klinsmann enough to get him a loan. Klinsamann is going to bring Landon to Bayern on a loan contract that will run from the 1st of January through the middle of March. His goal will be to keep him longer – at least until the end of the German Bundesliga season, which runs through most of May.
Have we seen the end of Donovan’s days in Major League Soccer?
We’ve heard rumors throughout the second half of the season that Landon Donovan would be targeting Germany as his home after the current MLS season. Tuesday Donovan has started a 10 day training trial with the German club Bayern Munich.
Donovan played in Germany previously but failed to make an impact with Bayer Leverkusen between 2001 and 2005.
ESPN Soccernet reports that Donovan is happy to be training in Germany with his friend and current Bayern coach Jurgen Klinsmann. There is no mention of a done deal to get him to come to the club full time. Maybe after the 10 day trial training period?
