I still take the time to write something that interests me, especially the content of transfers. Bayern Munich have announced professional contracts for three new stars: 19-year-old Croatian striker Zvonarek, 18-year-old German defender Asseko Nkili and 17-year-old Moroccan full-back Azno.
According to Bayern's official website, Zvonarek's contract with Azno has been extended until 2027, while Aseko Nkili's contract has been extended until 2026. Bayern sporting director Friend said: "All three players have a lot of potential. Giving three young players professional contracts at a time illustrates the work done by Bayern's academy. Our philosophy is to give the best possible addition to the first team, because it is very important for Bayern to help young players develop to the top level. We will continue to support these three youngsters to progress to the next level, they have all the qualities to succeed. ”
Academy director Saul said: "We are happy for the three lads, who should still be playing in the under-19 team, but have signed a professional contract with Bayern. Zvonarek has already made a first-team appearance and scored his first Bundesliga goal; Azno and Aceko Nkili are the main players in our second team, showing excellent potential in their respective positions, and we are confident that all three of them will be able to establish themselves in the first team in the future. ”
All three youngsters joined Bayern in the summer of 2022. Zvonarek, who joined Croatian side Slavin Berup for a fee of €1.8 million, has made 39 appearances for Bayern Munich, contributing 12 goals, making four senior appearances and netting his maiden goal at home to Wolfsburg.
