It looks like FC Bayern is set to lose him on a free transfer. His contract expires this summer, and there are no signs of an extension.

FC Bayern is likely to lose Leonard Prescott next summer. According to information from *kicker*, everything points to a parting of ways for the 17-year-old young goalkeeper. His contract ends after the current season, and the club’s and the player’s expectations reportedly differ.

This means the Munich club faces the prospect of losing a promising talent on a free transfer. A final decision has not yet been publicly confirmed. However, the new report makes it seem increasingly unlikely that the partnership will continue.

Prescott is currently sidelined with a meniscus injury. The young goalkeeper underwent surgery over the summer and has been out for an extended period since then. In addition to his recovery, Bayern is also grappling with the question of where he will continue his athletic development in the future.

Prescott’s prospects at FC Bayern remain uncertain

The contract situation has been a topic of discussion for months. In October, there were reports of talks regarding a contract extension and a possible subsequent loan. Such an arrangement would have given Prescott the chance to gain playing experience outside of Munich while remaining tied to Bayern in the long term.

Now, the current situation seems to point toward a complete departure. For the young talent, the fundamental question is how to forge a convincing path into professional soccer. With Jonas Urbig, the Munich club already has a young goalkeeper whom they are grooming as Manuel Neuer’s long-term successor. This makes Prescott’s own prospects challenging.

There has recently been speculation about potential suitors. In late October, the British website TEAMtalk reported interest from Arsenal FC. Other English clubs are also said to be keeping an eye on the young goalkeeper.

At FC Bayern, the future composition of the goalkeeping staff depends on several decisions. According to information from *kicker*, club officials plan to first discuss the futures of Neuer and Sven Ulreich by Christmas. Only then will the other positions behind Prescott be clarified.

According to the report, various options are being considered for the number-three spot as well: an external goalkeeper or a youth goalkeeper who rotates between the first team and the reserve squad. As things stand, however, Prescott is unlikely to be part of these plans. Without an agreement on a new contract, his time in Munich will end in the summer of 2027.
