FC Dallas has finally announced the loan of Justin Che to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Che departed earlier this week and the deal has been reported since shortly before that, but today’s announcement makes it official.
The loan runs until June 2023 and includes an option to buy. Che also signed a contract extension with FC Dallas through 2025 with a club option for the 2026 season.
Che holds a German passport and is eligible to play for Germany as well as his native US National Team. During family trips to Germany as a youngster, Che used to train with Hoffenheim so there is a pre-existing relationship between the player and club.
Bayern Munich was also reportedly interested in the young defender.
