Bayern in tricky talks to keep 17-year-old keeper Leonard Prescott
Post
📰 Bayern Munich are trying to stop 17-year-old goalkeeper Leonard Prescott leaving on a free, but the talks are proving difficult.
📌 Key points
✍️ Sky reports Bayern are in talks over a new contract for Prescott.
📅 His current deal expires in the summer of 2027.
🧤 Jonas Urbig is seen as the long-term No 1, limiting Prescott's path.
🩹 He is recovering from a meniscus injury suffered in June.
👀 Several clubs in Germany and abroad are said to be interested.
📝 What happened
✍️ According to Sky's Bayern podcast "Mia san vier", the club are negotiating a new deal to prevent Prescott leaving for nothing when his contract runs out.
🧤 The sticking point is playing time. Bayern see Jonas Urbig as their long-term first-choice goalkeeper, so they cannot offer Prescott a clear path to the first team.
🩹 The Germany Under-17 international has not played since injuring his meniscus in June.
👀 Despite that, Sky says numerous clubs in Germany and abroad are interested in him.
📊 By the numbers
• Prescott's age: 17
• Contract expires: summer 2027
• Injury: meniscus, June, still in rehab
🔭 Why it matters
Bayern are planning for life after Manuel Neuer, but keeping both Urbig and Prescott happy will not be easy. Convincing a young keeper who wants games is the challenge. Bayern face Augsburg in the league on 10 October.
