"Karl was Bayern's extremely sympathetic, academy kid who came out of seemingly nowhere from youth football to save Der Rekordmeister 's season when attacking reinforcements were desperately needed. This made him extremely likable to the Bayern fanbase. Admitting to wanting to go to Bayern's biggest European rival, however, is possibly the best way to erase any goodwill he has. To do so at a Bayern fan event is ridiculous."
"The fan who asked him the question of what his dream club outside of Bayern is probably expected him to say something like "I have a great affinity for Aschaffenburg because of my time there" or something like that. But to not only name Real Madrid but say he actively wants to go there in a future AT A BAYERN FAN CLUB is just thoughtless."
Lennart Karl rose from the academy to rescue Bayern Munich's season when attacking reinforcements were needed. His sudden emergence made him very popular with the Bayern fanbase. During a visit to a Bayern fan club he named Real Madrid as a dream club and expressed a desire to join them in the future, triggering strong negative reactions. The remark was thoughtless given the setting and undermined some fan goodwill. Such ambition reflects a common professional mindset: careers are short and many players consider new challenges abroad. Only a few modern players remain bound to a single club for life.
