"I'm someone who is 100% convinced of his abilities. He's shown that. He's made incredible progress in the last six months, adapted incredibly quickly, and made a name for himself at the highest level through top performances. I believe that when you play this role at Bayern Munich, you're automatically a candidate [for the national team]."
"I think Lennart is a special player who brings something that not many others do. That's why I think the coach will carefully consider whether he's already a factor. Personally, I certainly see him as a potential candidate - based on his performances."
Michael Ballack, the legendary footballer, established his own sports agency called Lucky 13 GmbH and represents Bayern Munich's young star Lennart Karl. Karl has made a remarkable impact since joining Bayern's senior squad for the 2025/26 season, delivering consistently excellent performances and breaking multiple records across Europe. At just 18 years old, Karl previously competed in Germany's U-17 squad at the 2025 summer U-17 EUROs. Ballack expresses strong confidence in Karl's abilities, noting his rapid progress and adaptation to elite-level football. He believes that performing at Bayern Munich's level automatically qualifies a player as a potential national team candidate. Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann's squad selections for the upcoming March international break will be crucial in determining Karl's prospects for the 2026 World Cup.
