FC Bayern could be looking to extend Lennart Karel’s contract.
According to a report from Sport Bild’s Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is aiming to extend the deal of Lennart Karl through 2031 and also seeking to give the phenom a significant raise:
Lennart Karl’s current deal automatically turns into a professional contract valid until 2029 when the player turns 18 next month. Now Bayern want to extend Karl’s contract even longer with a pay rise. Karl would move from the €1-2m per year he currently earns to around €5-7m. The club’s wish is to renew with Karl until 2031, so that he gets tied down in the long-term and rewarded financially for his performances.
Karl has a chance to be a special player at Bayern Munich. Yes, things could get dicey with playing time when the squad returns to full health, but Karl has consistently shown the ability to produce and be an impact player at a high level.
That is pretty damn impressive for a 17-year-old.
BFW Commentary
Some folks will jump to the conclusion that this could be a reaction to Karl’s “dream” reveal from the weekend, but this is likely an acknowledgement that the kid is a special talent, who Bayern Munich wants to stick around for a long time.
The funny part about this deal will be that here is almost no chance it stays in place for too long if Karl continues his rapid ascent. One thing Bayern Munich has shown it will do is jump in early and reward its players when necessary.
