Report: Grasshopper Club Zürich could get another Bayern Munich loanee

FC Bayern and Grasshopper could be doing more business.

According to a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich could seek to send Ecuadorian center-back Virgilio Olaya to Grasshopper Club Zürich. In addition, Romano is also reporting that Bayern Munich outgunned a “European giant in England” to bring in Olaya:

Grasshopper Club Zürich is an option for Virgilio Olaya to join on loan, but not the only one. Bayern are still considering the option.

There was another ‘European giant’ in England interested in Olaya but Bayern won the race for the player.

Romano initially reported that the deal between Bayern Munich and SD Aucas was complete on Monday, but now it looks like concrete plans are falling into place for the 17-year-old.

Olaya could become the latest Bayern Munich player to head to Grasshopper for some season. So far, Nestory Irankunda (sold to Watford), Lovro Zvonarek (currently on loan with Grasshopper), Jonathan Asp Jensen (currently on loan with Grasshopper), and Grayson Dettoni (recalled from loan at Grasshopper last season).
