Bayern Munich outlines development plans for young prospects Osmani, Pavić and Mike

Bayern Munich will keep 17-year-old Erblin Osmani and 16-year-old Filip Pavić at the club, while the future of forward Wisdom Mike remains uncertain after injury.

Bayern Munich’s coaching staff, led by Vincent Kompany, has confirmed that teenage forwards Erblin Osmani (17) and Filip Pavić (16) will stay at the club for the 2026/27 campaign. Osmani will train with the senior squad while continuing to play for the U-19s, and Pavić, who participated in the U-23 preseason under Dante, may earn professional minutes in the Regionalliga if his performances merit it. The club is also evaluating the situation of Wisdom Mike, who featured in five first-team games before his form dipped and a serious injury ended his season.

With his recovery timeline unclear, Bayern may consider sending him on loan around the transfer deadline, rather than keeping him in the youth ranks. These decisions reflect the club’s focus on integrating promising youngsters while managing the setbacks of injured players.
