The Story in 60 Seconds

Bayern Munich are currently in talks to extend the contract of 17-year-old goalkeeper Leonard Prescott beyond the summer of 2027 to prevent him from leaving on a free transfer. Negotiations are reportedly complicated because the German club cannot promise Prescott a direct pathway to first-team football, as Jonas Urbig is viewed as their long-term starting goalkeeper.

Prescott, a Germany U17 international, is sidelined while recovering from a meniscus injury suffered in June. Despite his absence from the pitch, multiple clubs across Germany and abroad are reportedly interested in securing his signature.
