Following a remarkable first appearance, - Star player Zvonarek of Bayern signs a professional agreement.

On a Sunday, the nineteen-year-old Bayern starlet Lovro Zvonarek played his first game in the starting lineup for the German champions, contributing to their 2-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg with a stunning low shot that made it 1-0 within the first four minutes. Just three days later, Bayern announced that he'd agreed on his first professional contract which will last until June 30, 2027.

Zvonarek, a Croatian dynamic midfielder, had already shown great promise prior to his move to Bayern back in 2022. When he was just sixteen, he led his team, Slaven Belupo, as captain - a record for being the youngest captain in the history of the Croatian top flight. His current coach, Thomas Tuchel, praised the player's enthusiasm and work ethic, stating, "He's a wonderful guy. You can see his happiness when he steps onto the field or off it. He trains hard, too. He put in a fantastic performance, scored a goal. Nobody begrudges him that, because he's just a great guy."

In addition to Zvonarek, two other up-and-coming players were given professional contracts. The Spanish-Moroccan left-back, Adam Aznou, was signed until 2027 and is known for his strong defensive abilities, having played multiple times with the professional team during the current season. Noel Aseko Nkili, an eighteen-year-old defensive all-rounder, also got his professional contract until 2026.

We'll continue to guide them closely as they embark on their next journey in their careers."
