Eberl is planning a new axis with the youngsters of FC Bayern. Mathys Tel was just the beginning: his early contract extension should have a signal effect on the remaining Bayern jewels.

The axis of the future is to be completed by Leverkusen loanee Josip Stanisic (23), who is also with the German record champions until 2026. Aleksandar Pavlovic will be nominated for the German U21 team for the first time in March; he does not yet play a role in national coach Julian Nagelsmann's plans.
