FC Bayern and Los Angeles FC reach agreement on youth development to develop international talent for team and professional football

Bayern officially announced that the club and Los Angeles Football Club have reached an agreement on youth training.


Bayern Munich and MLS champions Los Angeles FC are poised to collaborate on youth player development, with the two clubs forming a joint venture in Munich. The purpose of the cooperation between the two parties is to cultivate international talents for the team and professional football, as well as cooperate with friendly clubs.


Bayern CEO Kahn said that Bayern will work with Los Angeles Football Club to expand the development of young players. Football develops rapidly on an international level, and so does the transfer market. They see the tie-up as a way to strengthen Bayern's rivalry with European teams. The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, and they already have an office in New York, which makes LAFC even more attractive. Kahn expects the strength of the US MLS and youth players to improve, which will have a positive impact on their partnership.


In addition, according to reporter Kerry Hau , Bayern central defender Lucas hopes to return before the end of the season, and Salihamidzic also hopes to renew the contract with the player as soon as possible.


Lucas, who has been injured and absent so far during the World Cup and is still in the recovery stage, then said that the player hopes to return before the end of the season so that he can participate in the German Cup final and the Champions League final.


Lucas' current contract with the club will expire in 2024, and Bayern director Salihamidzic hopes to complete the contract extension with the player this summer at the latest.
