At only 17 years old, Lennart Karl is the revelation of the start of the season. Already the author of six goals and two assists in 22 matches in all competitions, the young German attacking midfielder continues to impress. So much so that some German supporters are calling for his tenure with the Mannschaft, for the 2026 World Cup. But for a few hours, the young talent has experienced a first big controversy which is inflaming the whole of Germany after having “offered” himself to Real Madrid.
“Bayern is a very big club. It’s a dream to play there. But at some point I absolutely want to go to Real Madrid. It’s my dream club, but it stays between us. Of course, Bayern is something very special and it’s really fun.he said, having already done an internship with the Merengues when he was 10 years old. But for many, this outing does not go through and Lennart Karl understood this well since he was forced to delete the comments on his Instagram account after receiving an avalanche of criticism, asking him to no longer play for Bayern Munich.

And the controversy continues to grow. So much so that some Bayern Munich legends are obliged to get involved, like Lothar Matthäus: “I think it’s great that a 17 year old has confidence in himself. Setting goals has absolutely nothing to do with arrogance. I don’t find it pretentious or arrogant (…) If Karl becomes good enough for Real Madrid to start negotiations, he will first have to accomplish something extraordinary with Bayern.who wanted to calm things down.
But others did not hesitate to criticize him, like Uli Stielike, who worked for Real Madrid: “I find these statements damaging to the boy, because he is not making any friends at Bayern, neither within the club, nor among the supporters. He should first gain maturity and become an indisputable starter, before joining the national team. He still has a long way to go.”he declared, while others prefer to evoke his young age to defend him, ensuring that “for a young player, it is completely legitimate to target Real Madrid”as mentioned by Günter Netzer, also spent by Real Madrid. Clearly, Lennart Karl will first have to get everyone to agree.
