Among those currently out on loan, Bryan Zaragoza has joined Espanyol in LaLiga, while Felipe Chávez is at 1. FC Magdeburg. Within the second team ranks, Javier Fernández is at 1. FC Nürnberg and Deniz Ofli is at Karlsruher SC. Richard Meier remains the lone Bayern player on loan in the 3. Liga with SV Meppen.
