Karl earned his place on the shortlist after a breakthrough 2025/26 campaign in which he helped Bayern secure a Bundesliga and DFB Cup double. The 18-year-old contributed nine goals and eight assists in 40 competitive appearances, while also winning his first three senior Germany caps. A thigh injury ultimately denied him the chance to feature at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
