Overview
- SPORT BILD reports Bayern paid €35,000 for Karl’s 2022 switch, overturning the previously publicized free move.
- The amount included official training compensation plus an extra sum and was divided between Eintracht Frankfurt and Viktoria Aschaffenburg.
- The outlay occurred under Hasan Salihamidžić’s watch, while current leaders Max Eberl and Christoph Freund highlight Karl in a renewed youth pathway.
- At 17, Karl has 13 first‑team appearances and two goals, with transfermarkt estimating a value near €20 million after seven Bundesliga matches.
- Leroy Sané has likened Karl’s left‑foot finishing to Arjen Robben’s, and Eberl says a 2026 Germany squad place could be realistic if his level holds.
