He’s only 14 and yet he’s already causing a stir. While Lennart Karl is electrifying FC Bayern, his younger brother Vincent is attracting attention with impressive training performances in the youth ranks of Eintracht Frankfurt. New videos show that talent really does seem to be hereditary in this family
Lennart Karl is currently shaking up professional soccer, but away from the Munich limelight, his younger brother is quietly working on his own path with great concentration. Vincent Karl is regarded as one of the biggest talents of his age group in Frankfurt’s youth department – and the latest training recordings impressively confirm this impression
On the social media account of the FA Academy, which works individually with young players, the 14-year-old can be seen practising shots on goal, technique sessions and athletics training. The videos show a young player who is extremely clean on the ball, takes precise shots and already has remarkable coordination. Elements that take years to build up in professional soccer – in Vincent’s case, they already seem surprisingly solid
Like his brother: Vincent is already under contract with Nike

Another detail shows that his talent has long since been discovered: Vincent Karl is already a Nike athlete. It is only in exceptional cases that a global brand signs a 14-year-old – a clear indication of how great his prospects are considered to be
For Eintracht Frankfurt, Vincent is a highly interesting option for the future, even if the road to the professional game is still a long one. At his age, it’s all about development, patience and stability – qualities that are obviously also present in the Karl family
Big change next year – will Vincent follow his brother to Munich?
As BILD reports, the Karl family is set to move next year. Lennart will move out of the dormitory at the Bayern Campus at the age of 18, so his parents will change the center of their lives and move from Frammersbach to Munich. It remains to be seen whether Vincent will come with them – but a possible move to a Munich youth team would be much easier, at least logistically
Regardless of where his path takes him, these early impressions show that Vincent’s development could also be very exciting. The Karl family has already given German soccer an exceptional talent – and it doesn’t look like it will stop there.
