Done deal: FC Bayern announce contract extensions | OneFootball

FC Bayern officially announces: Contracts with two players have been extended.

While Bayern executives Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are currently focusing on major personnel matters like Dayot Upamecano and Konrad Laimer, there are already clear results in the youth sector: The record champions secured two talents on long-term contracts on Thursday.

As the club officially confirmed, full-back Deniz Ofli and midfielder Allen Junior Lambe have extended their contracts until June 30, 2028. Both are key pillars of the U19 team coached by Peter Gaydarov and are among the most promising players on the campus.

The 17-year-old Lambe has made eleven appearances across competitions this season, while the 18-year-old Ofli has already been on the field 13 times and has recently led the Munich A-Juniors onto the field as captain multiple times. Internal voices praise Ofli's consistent development and Lambe's speed and pressing intelligence.

Sporting Director Markus Weinzierl expressed satisfaction with the completed extensions on the club's website: “With Deniz and Allen, we have secured two players with whom we are satisfied with their development. We believe in their potential and are pleased that they want to take their next steps towards men's football with us.”

FC Bayern's U19 on Course

FC Bayern's U19 currently leads the preliminary group E of the DFB youth league – 22 points from nine matches speak for the team's strong development. Chasers SC Freiburg (19 points) and SSV Ulm (17 points) have already played one more game. This gives Munich a good chance of qualifying for the main round, where the best 16 teams will later compete for the A-Youth Championship.

Last season, the FCB youth only failed in the semifinals after extra time against Bayer Leverkusen (3:4). In the final, 1. FC Köln eventually won. Incidentally, the top scorer for Munich at that time was a player who is now in the spotlight nationwide: Lennart Karl.
