He quickly eliminated the little question mark about how that would look in the Bundesliga, he contributed with good performances to get through the second half of the season in a stable manner. Now he goes back to Bayern Munich, he has a contract there, everything else you have to see in the summer break.”

Richards’ contract in Munich runs until 2023. Only if new Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann does not make him a permanent fixture and Bayern also envisage another year of maturity for Richards, could Hoffenheim’s hopes of another loan be fulfilled.
