In recent years, FC Bayern have hardly managed to establish talents from their own youth in the professional squad. The record champions have all the greater hopes for U19 captain Tarek Buchmann.
According to information from Sky, the 17-year-old should train regularly with the professionals from next summer. According to transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, the tall central defender (1.88 meters) has come a long way in his development and has great potential. Some observers are said to be comparing him to young Jerome Boateng.
Buchmann is currently preparing for his Abitur. According to Sky, this is also the reason why he will not go to the winter training camp in Qatar. The Munich media group leaves it open how Bayern plan to contract with the youngster. Buchmann currently has a youth player contract that runs until 2024.
This season, the native of Augsburg made five appearances each in the A-Junior Bundesliga and in the UEFA Youth League. At the beginning of the season, a torn lateral ligament put him out of action. In addition, Buchmann can show a total of nine games for the German U16 and U17 national teams.
