Bayern Munich sign Germany international Sarah Mattner

Three-time Austrian champion Sarah Mattner has joined German powerhouses Bayern Munich from St. Pölten on a lucrative contract until 2029.

Mattner drew attention from many of Europe’s top teams after scoring 16 goals in 16 games during the 2025/26 season.

The 23-year old, who finished as the ÖFB Bundesliga top goal scorer this season, won three titles and three ÖFB Cups during her three-and-a-half year stay at Pölten.

Bianca Rech, Head of Women’s Football at Bayern, spoke after signing their long-term transfer target.

“We’re really happy we could bring in Sarah and that she will wear the Bayern shirt from next season. She’s showed very good development in the ÖFB Bundesliga in recent years and was one of the best players last season. There’s a reason she was called up to Germany’s senior team this year. She can be used in a flexible way on the wings in both attack and defence, has good physicality and speed, and likes to go for one-v-ones.

“We firmly believe that she will take the next step with us, given her potential and mentality, and give our team additional quality and variability.”

Bayern Munich signing a ‘big step to take’ for Sarah Mattner

After putting pen to paper, Mattner said: “I’m really happy to have signed for Bayern. It’s a big step in my career, which felt right from the first moment. This club is one of the biggest in the world, and I think every player gets excited when Bayern pay attention to you.

“The whole package was what mattered to me. The level of football is so high, the conditions are extremely professional, but it all still feels like a family.

“That combination of maximum aspirations and an approachable, personal environment is special to me. The city and the setting are also a good fit for me. Proximity to my home also plays a big role. All that makes me very positive and gives me the feeling that I’m in exactly the right place. I have the opportunity here to develop further in both a sporting and a personal sense.”
