Bayern Campus still in the spotlight: Freund sets out clear goal | OneFootball

The campus is one of FC Bayern's most important projects. Sporting director Christoph Freund sets a clear goal.

Sporting director Christoph Freund has once again emphasized the great importance of the Bayern campus, outlining ambitious plans for the youth development of the record champions.

"It is a very important project and a very important foundation for FC Bayern Munich. We invest a lot of know-how and a lot of money in our huge campus. Our big goal in the coming years is to consistently deliver top work, and we want to be a top academy and develop good footballers," Freund explained in an interview with Servus TV.

Especially in times of skyrocketing transfer fees and increasing competition from the Premier League, FC Bayern is focusing more on talents from its own youth. Freund emphasized that the club must think strategically differently than the richest clubs in Europe: "FC Bayern, with all its size and brand, cannot keep up with the top-top clubs from England in terms of transfers. That's why we will find our own way, and I am convinced that in the coming years, very good guys will emerge from the campus."

Mike and Karl made the leap to Bayern professionals

In recent months, several youth players have attracted attention. Talents like Wisdom Mike or Lennart Karl recently celebrated their professional debuts and even received initial market values.

The club's loan strategy, which introduces young players like Asp Jensen or Lovro Zvonarek to a higher level early on, is also showing results.

Freund makes it clear: The campus should serve even more as a springboard for the professional team. The goal is to regularly integrate top players from our own ranks into the Bundesliga team in the future, becoming both sportingly and economically more independent from expensive transfers.
