BOCHUM, GERMANY – Lena Oberdorf, the talented German midfielder, is set to make a move from Wolfsburg to Bayern Munich this summer. The 22-year-old has signed a contract with Bayern until 2028, marking an exciting new chapter in her career.

Wolfsburg will receive a reported sum of €400,000 (£340,500) from Oberdorf’s release clause, as she prepares to join the Bavarian giants at the end of the season.

Oberdorf expressed her enthusiasm for the move, stating, “I had good conversations with head coach Alexander Straus and department head Bianca Rech and I really liked the club’s vision of what they want to achieve in the next few years.” She added, “I was also shown where my potential lies and what else can be gotten out of me. I don’t think I’m a complete player yet – but I want to get there. I will continue to give everything for VfL Wolfsburg until the summer and then look forward to the new challenge.”

Bianca Rech, the women’s department manager at Bayern Munich, praised Oberdorf’s talent and expressed her delight at securing her signature. Rech said, “Lena Oberdorf is one of the most talented players in Germany and has a great future ahead of her. We are very happy that we were able to convince Lena to join FC Bayern.”

Oberdorf has already made a name for herself on the international stage, earning 44 caps for Germany and winning the European Championships at under-17 level. She was also a key player in the DFB-Frauenteam side that reached the Euro 2022 final, where Germany were narrowly defeated 2-1 by England in extra time. Oberdorf was named the best young player of the tournament, highlighting her immense potential.

However, before she can don the Bayern Munich jersey, Oberdorf will be focusing on the intense Frauen-Bundesliga title race. Wolfsburg, currently only one point behind Bayern, will face off against their rivals on March 23. Oberdorf will undoubtedly be determined to help her current team secure victory and keep the title race alive until the end.

Overall, Lena Oberdorf’s move to Bayern Munich marks a significant step in her career, and both clubs are excited about the future. With her talent and potential, Oberdorf is set to make a lasting impact on the German football scene.
