A talented goalkeeper is growing up at FC Bayern in the shadow of the first team and has long been attracting attention beyond Munich’s borders. Several well-known clubs are said to have already expressed their interest in Leonard Prescott
The 16-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting goalkeeper projects on campus – and could be on the verge of making an important move in the medium term
According to the Münchner Merkur, various well-known clubs have knocked on the door of Prescott’s parents. His contract with FC Bayern runs until 2027
For the young keeper, it’s all about prospects: he wants to play regularly at professional level in the future and take the next step in his development
Prescott is already training regularly with the professionals at Säbener Straße. While Manuel Neuer is working on his comeback after tearing a fibre in his left calf and will miss at least the games against Eintracht Frankfurt and Dortmund, Jonas Urbig is the main focus of public attention. But internally, those responsible know that Prescott is another great goalkeeping talent in the making
Leonard Prescott in action for the German U17s
The 1.96-metre-tall keeper has a modern profile: strong on the line, present in the penalty area and strong with the ball at his feet. Despite his young age, he looks remarkably mature. If you ask insiders about his weaknesses, they often say he has „no real ones“, according to the report
Prescott moved to the Bayern campus from Union Berlin in 2023. He currently plays mainly for the U19s, but regularly trains with the pros. His great role model is Manuel Neuer, with whom he now regularly shares the pitch
He has also already shown himself internationally, gaining important experience at the U17 Algarve Cup with the DFB team, although he was suspended for the 1-0 defeat to hosts Portugal.
