Per a release from FCBayern.com, Bayern Munich has extended the contract of 17-year-old midfielder Erblin OsmaniL

FC Bayern have extended Erblin Osmani’s contract early on. The 17-year-old midfield talent joined the record champions’ youth academy when the campus opened in 2017 and has since progressed through all the youth teams.

Osmani joined FC Bayern’s academy from TSV Milbertshofen’s U9 team. Last season, he initially played for the U17s, then also for the U19s, and in March, in the Bundesliga

home match against Union Berlin (4-0), he made his debut at the Allianz Arena under head coach Vincent Kompany. He is initially slated to play for the U19s next season. His new contract will automatically convert into a professional contract upon his 18th birthday.

Bayern Munich director of youth development Jochen Sauer is happy to see Osmani stick with the club.

“Erblin is a native of Munich and a true FC Bayern homegrown talent. He has already made his debut with our first team and we are convinced of his further development potential. We are delighted that Erblin will also take the next steps with us,” Sauer said.
