Landon Donovan's loan deal to Bayern Munich was formalized today. He is currently with the team in Dubai and will have the opportunity to play in a maximum of six league matches for the German champions once the Bundesliga resumes from its winter break. Juergen Klinsmann is sold on him, and wouldn't mind being able to purchase his services on a permanent basis.
At the age of 26, Donovan is several years removed from his previous stint in Europe, and he's not going to get a fourth opportunity if this European adventure doesn't work out. Will he come back to MLS? Will he stay in Europe? And if he stays in Europe, would David Beckham -- who would shoulder even more of the burden at the Galaxy -- leave for Europe, too?
