Bayern's 17-Year-Old Maycon Cardozo Signs New Long-Term Deal After Rapid Rise

The winger cements progress from the World Squad to Bayern's reserves with a development path toward the first team.

Overview

Bayern have signed the 17-year-old winger to a new long-term contract following his recent elevation to the U-23s.
Earlier Wednesday, he was reported to be at Säbener Straße with agent Delon Alves for final negotiations, which were said to be close to completion.
The immediate plan is for Cardozo to continue his development with Bayern II in Regionalliga senior football rather than move straight into the first team.
He featured for the senior side with a late appearance in the Jan. 6 friendly win at RB Salzburg after impressing for the U-19s.
A product of Bayern’s World Squad program, he stood out to coaches including Roy Makaay and converted that showing into academy opportunities.
