"Lennart Karl is on an astronomical rise in the world of football, noted for his dribbling skills and eye for goals. Although clubs aren't kicking the tires on the 17-year-old academy product, his current youth contract contains a tasty looking clause. According to a report by kicker (as captured by Buli News), Karl's youth contract has an automatic clause that becomes a professional contract upon his 18th birthday."
"Club policy indicates a maximum of a three-year deal for underage players; Karl signed his current contract in the summer of this year, set to end in 2028. That clause, however, means his eventual professional contract becomes a multi-year deal and he gets a huge pay rise. In the absence of Jamal Musiala and as an understudy to Michael Olise, Karl has lit up the pitch with his performances."
Lennart Karl is a 17-year-old academy forward recognized for dribbling and goal instincts. His youth contract includes an automatic clause converting it into a professional contract on his 18th birthday. Club rules cap underage deals at three years; Karl's current agreement was signed in summer and runs until 2028. The conversion clause will therefore trigger a multi-year professional contract and a substantial salary increase. Karl has impressed on the pitch, filling in during Jamal Musiala's absence and acting as an understudy to Michael Olise. He stands out as one of Bayern's rare academy graduates likely to reach the first team, like Thomas Müller and David Alaba.
