Bayern Munich have secured the services of 17-year-old left-back Julien Yanda, who has joined the Bavarian giants from Bundesliga rivals St. Pauli. Yanda, who has already gained valuable professional experience with St. Pauli, signed a contract with Bayern Munich until 2028. Initially, the promising defender will join Bayern’s second team, playing in the Regionalliga Bayern, where he will continue his development in the men’s game. The transfer was officially confirmed by Bayern Munich on Monday, marking a new chapter for the young talent.
Yanda had been with St. Pauli’s youth setup since 2017, making twelve appearances for their U19 team this season, contributing one goal and one assist. His impressive performances earned him a call-up to the senior squad in November, though he did not feature in their 2-0 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Bayern’s sporting director, Markus Weinzierl, praised Yanda’s athleticism and development potential, expressing confidence in the player’s ability to make a successful transition to professional football. Yanda’s competitive debut for Bayern’s second team could come as early as February 22, when they face 1. FC Schweinfurt in the Regionalliga.
