Bayern Munich negotiates to retain young goalkeeper Leonard Prescott

Summary

Bayern Munich is in discussions with 17-year-old goalkeeper Leonard Prescott to extend his contract, which expires in the summer of 2027. Current negotiations are challenging as Bayern cannot guarantee Prescott a clear progression to first-team football with Jonas Urbig seen as the primary option. Prescott, who is recovering from a meniscus injury sustained in June, has attracted interest from several clubs in Germany and abroad. The situation is critical for Bayern as they aim to avoid losing a talented prospect on a free transfer.
