According to a report by Sky Germany journalist Kerry Hau, there might be a player in the Bayern Campus who could have a chance to advance his development by getting playing time with the first team, given that he has impressed coach Vincent Kompany (Kerry Hau via @iMiaSanMia_GER ). Per the report, 16-year-old midfielder Erblin Osmani has made a good impression during first-team training, “holding his own and keeping things clean, making no mistakes. ” Yet, for him to get a real chance of playing with the first team, the kid has to keep accumulating real competitive minutes with the U-17 and U-19 squads.
This reports agrees with the notion of Bayern Munich looking to integrate academy players into the the first team as a mean to reduce expenditure on player tranfers fees.
