After that, he should be introduced more and more to the professionals and also receive more minutes in Vincent Kompany’s team in the second half of the season. “Sky” learned about this plan.
Like Karl, Mike should also sign a professional contract on his 18th birthday – i.e. at the end of September 2026 – which, according to the TV station, should not contain an exit clause.
The left winger is currently “only” bound until 2027. The new term should then be at least until 2029. Mike got his first taste of professional life in the Bayern jersey this season in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

With the signing of Jonathan Burkardt, Eintracht Frankfurt hit the jackpot on the transfer market. The new signing from FSV Mainz 05 immediately hit the SGE, after 13 competitive games the striker already has nine goals. This also brings international competition into play.
According to “Calciomercato”, AC Milan have had the German international on their radar for a year.
