Lennart Karl
Lennart Karl (born 22 February 2008) is a German professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.
Karl joined the academy of Viktoria Aschaffenburg in 2015, and he moved to the academy of Eintracht Frankfurt in 2017. He then rejoined Viktoria Aschaffenburg in 2022, before he caught the eye of Bayern Munich and in the summer of the same year, Karl joined their academy. During the 2024–25 season he started with the U17 Nachwuchsliga Group F for Bayern Munich with 17 goals and 8 assists in just 9 appearances. In October 2024 top-flight clubs, like Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and Dutch Eredivisie club Ajax, showed interest in recruiting him. At only 16 years of age, Karl already represented both the under-17 and under-19 squads during the 2024–25 season.
On 4 April 2025, he received his first call-up to the senior team of Bayern Munich, for a 3–1 away victory Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg, as an unused substitute. Two months later, on 15 June, Karl made his professional debut during a 10–0 victory over Auckland City in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Karl was one of the players that were called up by Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany, for the 2025 pre-season matches against Ligue 1 club Lyon, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, and Swiss Super League club Grasshopper. On 8 August, along with his teammate Wisdom Mike, Karl extended his contract with the club and chose to wear the shirt number 42, which was previously worn by Jamal Musiala. Later that year, on 22 October, he scored his first professional goal in a 4–0 victory over Belgian Pro League club Club Brugge in the Champions League, becoming the club's youngest-ever scorer in the competition at 17 years and 242 days old, surpassing the previous record held by Jamal Musiala. Three days later, he netted his first Bundesliga goal in a 3–0 away win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. On 22 November, he recorded a goal and an assist in a 6–2 victory over SC Freiburg, becoming the youngest Bayern Munich player to achieve this feat in a single Bundesliga match. A month later, on 9 December, he netted a goal in a 3–1 victory over Portuguese Primeira Liga club Sporting CP, becoming the youngest player ever to score in three consecutive Champions League matches, breaking the previous record set by Kylian Mbappé.
Karl has represented the Germany national U15, U16, U17 and U21 teams.
On 19 March 2026, Karl received his first senior Germany national team call-up by head coach Julian Nagelsmann, for the pre-World Cup friendlies against Ghana and Switzerland.
Karl is a left-footed attacking midfielder, acting as a number 10, sitting behind the striker and dictating play in the final third. He often scores goals from long range. With his intelligence on the ball and considerable goal contributions he has drawn comparisons with Thomas Müller, Mesut Özil and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
