It remains to be seen to what extent that corresponds to reality under Company. So far, Karl continues to hesitate to extend his contract, which is currently limited until summer 2026. In the new season, Karl should now get a permanent place as a back-up for Michael Olise on the right wing in the professional squad. Will that alone convince him of a whereabouts?
In any case, a promising talent as Karl may be free to transfer would be fatal from the point of view of Bayern. After all, the young campus on Ingolstädter Straße, which the record champions cost around 100 million euros, should actually be the Munich response to the transfer of transfer with transfer claims in the international market.
Ex-board boss and member of the supervisory board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently said the “Welt am Sonntag”: “Ideally, we bring out a player every year who makes it into the first team.” Company can actually understand this as an unmistakable order. He and Bavaria recently seemed far away from his fulfillment. This should apparently change in the coming season – at least when it comes to sports director Christoph Freund.
He announced that seven top talents will now be permanently with the professionals. “At the club World Cup in the USA, we deliberately gave many talents the opportunity to be part of the professionals over a longer period of time,” said friend of the “Sport Bild” and revealed: “Lennart Karl, Adam Aznou, Leon Klanac, Cassiano Kiala, Jonah Kusi-Asare and David Santos Daiber, like Wisdom Mike, will continue to train with the professionals.”
Friend continues: “We put great confidence in these young players: everyone has the chance to make their way. The door is generally open to us.” This also applies to other talents. In theory, this planned change of course sounds good. However, it is now primarily due to Kompany to put it into practice.
