Many Bayern Munich youngsters are catching the eye of head coach Vincent Kompany, training regularly with the first team, sealing ambitious loans and closing in on regular appearances in professional football. However, some of these players are just too young for all of that. Erblin Osmani and Filip Pavić, 17 and 16 respectively and both regular starters as part of the U-19s in the 2025-26 season, are two such young players.
Kicker reports, as captured by iMiaSanMia_GER, that both players are set to stay at Bayern, while also providing an update for Wisdom Mike:
Erblin Osmani is set to train with the pros and play for the U19s. Wisdom Mike first needs to find his way back into the team. Filip Pavić is to get a taste of training and can hope for pro minutes during the season if he performs well.
Pavić has been part of the the U-23's preseason under head coach Dante, so perhaps he will get the chance to play professional football in the fourth division of German football at the tender age of 16 if he is not demoted back to the U-19s.
Meanwhile, Mike is a completely different situation altogether. After starting the season in such a promising way and garnering five appearances for the first team, his form trailed off terribly as the season went on before suffering a serious injury late in the season. It is still unclear if he will be fit in time for the end of the transfer window, but one will have to **** ume, after minutes for the U-19s, U-23s and senior team last season, that he has not much to gain from another season playing for the Bayern's youth teams. If he regains his fitness in time, do not be surprised if he leaves the club on loan around transfer deadline day.

Rutgers Athletics recently unveiled its annual awards to honor the athletes who have distinguished themselves in a variety of areas. The awards included the Big Ten Medal of Honor, Bauer Athlete of the Year, the Freshman of the Year Award, the Sophomore of the Year Award, the Junior of the Year Award, the Senior of the Year Award, the Coursen Award, the Headley-Singer Award, the Werblin Award, and the Athletic Director's Excellence Award. Most of the awards were given out to one male and one female athlete.
The Big Ten Medal of Honor is awarded to one male and one female student-athlete from the graduating class of each member institution who has demonstrated excellence on and off the field.
In his senior season, Kaliakmanis threw for 3,124 passing yards and 20 touchdowns while running for four more touchdowns. His passing yards total last year is the fourth most in a season in program history, and his 260.3 average passing yards per game last year was second in the Big Ten. He was selected in the seventh round of the NFL draft by the Washington Commanders.
Crawford made breaking school records look normal during her time in Piscataway. She is now the school record holder in both the 400m indoor and outdoor. She also ran a leg on the school record sprint medley relay team, setting the top mark in 2024 at 3:47.28. Crawford recorded seven podium finishes over her career and was a two-time NCAA East First Round qualifier who earned a spot at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships. She was also an All-American honorable mention.
The Bauer athlete of the year award is given to the one male and one female student-athlete from any class who has consistently performed and excelled in athletic competition at a high level for the most recent academic year.

Per a release from FCBayern.com, Bayern Munich has extended the contract of 17-year-old midfielder Erblin OsmaniL
FC Bayern have extended Erblin Osmani's contract early on. The 17-year-old midfield talent joined the record champions' youth academy when the campus opened in 2017 and has since progressed through all the youth teams.
Osmani joined FC Bayern's academy from TSV Milbertshofen's U9 team. Last season, he initially played for the U17s, then also for the U19s, and in March, in the Bundesliga home match against Union Berlin (4-0), he made his debut at the Allianz Arena under head coach Vincent Kompany. He is initially slated to play for the U19s next season. His new contract will automatically convert into a professional contract upon his 18th birthday.
Bayern Munich director of youth development Jochen Sauer is happy to see Osmani stick with the club.
"Erblin is a native of Munich and a true FC Bayern homegrown talent. He has already made his debut with our first team and we are convinced of his further development potential. We are delighted that Erblin will also take the next steps with us," Sauer said.
