FC Bayern has Lennart Karl, one of the greatest talents in world football, under contract. The record champions want to extend this contract early.
Lennart Karl is FC Bayern’s greatest discovery. The offensive man, who was promoted from the U19, played his way into the Munich squad this season and has already made 21 professional appearances. But FC Bayern doesn’t have to worry about his departure. Karl’s contract will automatically be extended until his 18th birthday on February 22nd until 2029. According to “Sport Bild”, he will then receive a salary of one to two million euros.
The record champions are therefore considering offering Karl an even longer contract – with a higher salary. According to “Sport Bild”, the junior national player should sign until 2031 according to the bosses’ wishes. His salary would then be a multiple of the rumored one to two million euros. Up to seven million would be waiting for him.
Should Karl decide to do so, Bayern would have tied up many players with prospects for the long term. Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala have contracts until 2030. Josip Stanišić, Michael Olise, Tom Bischof, Aleksandar Pavlović and Jonas Urbig until 2029.
