TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Transfer
LAFC have transferred homegrown midfielder Bajung Darboe to German Bundesliga side FC Bayern Munich, the club announced Wednesday.
The 18-year-old US youth international becomes the third-ever MLS homegrown player to join Bayern, following Alphonso Davies (Vancouver Whitecaps FC) and Justin Che (FC Dallas).
LAFC and Bayern established the “Red&Gold Football” development cooperation last year to provide young talent a pathway to first-team soccer.
A highly-rated prospect, Darboe has featured for LAFC 2 and Philadelphia Union II MLS NEXT Pro. The Black & Gold acquired the player's homegrown priority from Minnesota United FC in 2023.
Darboe is the second LAFC player to be transferred to a high-profile European club this year after defender Mamadou Fall moved to LaLiga giants FC Barcelona over the summer.
