Munich, Aug 29 (IANS): Bayern Munich's Denmark international Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg has agreed to join league rivals Schalke on loan, the German champions confirmed in a statement.
The 20-year-old Bayern midfielder will be loaned for a second time, after spending the last second half of the campaign at Augsburg, as he will play for Schalke until June 2016, reports Xinhua.
"We still have very high hopes in Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg and we see his future in Bayern Munich. In order to continue his development he needs match practice which he should get at Schalke," Bayern's sporting director Matthias Sammer said on Friday.
