Bayern Munich could face the departure of one of its most promising young goalkeepers, with 17-year-old Leonard Prescott reportedly leaning toward an exit when his contract expires this summer.
According to reports from Kicker and Bild, Bayern remains in discussions with Prescott over a potential extension, and both sides are interested in continuing their relationship. However, their expectations for his future do not currently align, leaving his long-term prospects in Munich uncertain.
Several Bundesliga
clubs are monitoring Prescott and offering something Bayern cannot currently guarantee: a clearer pathway to first-team football. Jonas Urbig is viewed internally as Bayern’s long-term No. 1, while the club would prefer to bring in an experienced goalkeeper as his backup. That would leave Prescott competing for the third-choice position, hardly an appealing prospect for a young goalkeeper looking to establish himself.
Bayern is not ready to give up on Prescott, but keeping him will likely require some creativity. The club would need to present a convincing development plan with a genuine pathway to senior football. Otherwise, one of its talented young goalkeepers could be heading for the exit this summer.
