"Olaya plays as a center-back and has started five games for SD Aucas in the Ecuadorian first division this season - not an easy feat for a teenager. He also has several appearances for the Ecuadorian U-17s. @JUFE_OFFICIAL posted a compilation of his gameplay on Twitter: Bayern Munich are apparently considering loaning the 17-year-old out to a partner club in the Red&Gold football venture, a partnership between the Bavarians and Los Angeles FC."
"Other clubs include the South Korean side Jeju SK FC, African side Gambinos Stars Africa, and Uruguayan side Racing Club de Montevideo. At only seventeen and with limited senior team experience, Olaya is unlikely to feature for the Bavarians any time soon. He will have to go on loan, and maybe later play in Bayern's own youth system before getting a shot at the senior team - a tough task for any player, no matter how talented."
Bayern Munich have agreed to sign 17-year-old Virgilio Olaya from SD Aucas and are considering sending him on loan for development. Olaya is a centre-back who has started five Ecuadorian top-flight matches this season and has appearances for Ecuador's U-17s. A compilation of his gameplay was shared on Twitter under @JUFE_OFFICIAL. Bayern may place him in a partner club within the Red&Gold venture, including LAFC, Jeju SK FC, Gambinos Stars Africa, or Racing Club de Montevideo. The move signals a renewed Bayern focus on South America to identify talent early after a decade-long scouting pause.
