Overview

  • The 19-year-old has been with Bayern’s academy since 2017 and helped Germany win the 2017 U17 World Cup.
  • With a market value of €700,000, Schmitt enters the 3. Liga as one of its highest-valued goalkeepers.
  • Jochen Sauer, Bayern’s youth director, said he expects the loan to provide the goalkeeper with valuable professional game time.
  • Schmitt will compete for Ulm’s starting spot alongside Christian Ortag and Marvin Seybold as the club targets an immediate return to the 2. Bundesliga.
  • Bayern’s structured partnerships with clubs like SSV Ulm aim to combine contract security with competitive loans, following precedents such as Maurice Krattenmacher’s stint in the third tier.
