Bayern Munich signs U-19 center back Konstantinos Karandrikas

Bayern Munich has officially secured the signing of 17-year-old Greek center back Konstantinos Karandrikas from Atromitos Athens. The club's U19 team announced the transfer just before the start of the 2026/27 season. Head of Sport and Youth Development Michael Wiesinger emphasized the scouting efforts that identified Karandrikas as an athletic defender with strong build-up play. This addition addresses a need for reinforcements in Bayern's defense, as other defenders have bypassed the U19s. His debut with the U19 squad occurred shortly after the signing, highlighting the urgency of the move.
