Because of Karl: Bayern chiefs turned down plenty of players | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, there is great trust in rising star Lennart Karl. Not only after his top performance against Bruges – the Munich officials apparently deliberately kept a spot open for the youngster as early as the summer.

FC Bayern seems to have a clear plan when it comes to nurturing its top talent Lennart Karl – and this even influenced the club bosses' transfer decisions.

As Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg reports, the officials of the record champions have rejected numerous offers from agents in recent months who offered the club players for the right wing. Plettenberg explained: “Bayern have repeatedly said in many discussions with agents who offered players for the right wing: No, we have Olise there, and we want to keep a squad spot open for Lennart Karl. They didn’t want to block this spot so that he could get playing time.”

This makes it clear: The club is planning long-term with Karl – and thus shows great trust in the 17-year-old homegrown talent, who has already appeared several times with the pros this season and caused a sensation in the Champions League against Bruges with a dream goal.

High Praise from Hamann for Karl

Coach Vincent Kompany is apparently focused on promoting the young player, who is also considered one of the greatest talents in German football internally. TV expert Dietmar Hamann called him a “hopeful for German football” and praised his maturity and game intelligence.

By consciously refraining from further wing transfers, Bayern underscores their intention to give the offensive talent an important role in the professional squad in the medium term. A clear signal: Lennart Karl is no longer just a prospect – but part of FC Bayern's future planning.
