After being nominated for the U21 squad, Lars Lukas Mai could have the next career boost.
According to rumors, some clubs from the 2nd Bundesliga are interested in him.
Munich - These are exciting days for Lars Lukas Mai.
Following the announcement by Stefan Kuntz * that the 21-year-old central defender will be appointed to his EM squad, there are new developments around the young star.
As of now, Mai has a contract with Bayern Munich * until 2023 and is returning to the Isar from Darmstadt after a successful loan season.
With the lilies, Mai could already sniff the second division air, so it would be possible that he accepts one of the firm contract offers that should be available to him.
Hamburger SV with the best chances: Tim Walter and Mai are old friends from Munich
The Hamburger Sportverein * announced earlier this week that Tim Walter will be the new coach of the Hanseatic League for the coming season.
After Hamburg had missed the relegation places in the second Bundesliga four times in a row, Walter should aim for promotion to the 1st Bundesliga.
The Hamburg team had to play against Darmstadt twice this season, both times Lars Lukas Mai was on the field for the lilies.
Walter and Mai still know each other from their time together at Bayern.
In 2017 they won the B-Junior Championship with a 2-0 win against Werder Bremen.
Lars Lukas Mai took to the pitch as captain, his coach: Tim Walter.
This past could now be an advantage for HSV when it comes to an advantage in signing the 21-year-old.
FC Schalke 04 and Fortuna Düsseldorf also show interest in Lukas Mai
According to information from the kicker, Hamburger SV is not the only second division team interested in the central defender.
Due to his strong season at Darmstadt 98, May also aroused the interest of Fortuna Düsseldorf and Schalke 04. The latter in particular have to buy new supplies for the second division season, as over a third of the contract players in the second division are no longer there.
In January it was reported that Lazio, the first major European club to show interest in May.
A fixed arrangement with a club from the 2nd Bundesliga * would be the next logical step for Lars Lukas Mai. Whether he will make professional appearances at Bayern under Julian Nagelsmann is questionable.
Even the regional league should no longer seem too attractive to him at his level of performance, sporting it would go two leagues down for him.
With Sebastian Hoeneß, May was still third division champion, now comes the relegation with the Bayern amateurs.
So it is more likely that a club from the 2nd Bundesliga will become the future employer of the 21-year-old.
