Bayern Munich signs first pro deal with Erblin Osmani

Bayern Munich is on the brink of a major step: 17‑year‑old midfielder Erblin Osmani is set to sign his first professional contract with the record‑champion later this month. Negotiations are, according to Sky reporter Kerry Hau, already in the final stage, with a long‑term commitment running until 2029.

Who is Erblin Osmani?

Osmani, born 19 May 2009 in Munich, is a true city kid. After a brief spell at TSV Milbertshofen he joined Bayern’s youth system, climbing from the mini‑field to the U19 squad. Left‑footed, he can play both as a defensive midfielder and an attacking winger. Transfermarkt.de currently values him at roughly two million euros – impressive for a player without a pro contract.

Why does he echo Karl and Stiller?

Osmani’s path mirrors that of Lennart Karl and Angelo Stiller. Both started in Munich’s Milbertshofen district, moved into Bayern’s academy and made the leap to the German national team. Karl most recently trained with the senior squad before an injury forced him to miss the 2026 World Cup. Stiller followed the same route and now plays for VfB Stuttgart. Osmani already recorded six goals and three assists in eight U17 league matches and has two caps for Germany’s U17 side – he also holds Kosovar citizenship.

How will his integration look?

For the upcoming season Bayern plans a cautious introduction for Osmani into the senior group. He will remain a key player in the U19 youth league, where he logged two appearances in February. At the same time he will regularly join the first‑team training sessions – a route Karl recently took. The Rummenigge Sport Marketing GmbH agency, which handles several Bayern prospects, will oversee his development.

What does this mean for the future?

With Osmani, Bayern could once again successfully promote a home‑grown talent to the senior roster. A contract running to 2029 signals strong confidence in his growth. If he makes the jump, he may become a vital midfield piece for the record‑champion in the coming years and perhaps even earn a spot in the German national team.
