Konstantinos Karadrikas Bayern Munich Atromitos transfer youth academy

Seventeen‑year‑old centre‑back Konstantinos Karadrikas, a product of Iraklis Peristeri and later developed by Atromitos FC, has completed a transfer to German champions Bayern Munich. He will join Bayern’s U19 (K19) side after impressing in two trial periods in January 2026 and a follow‑up test a few months later. Atromitos announced the sale, describing it as a “major agreement” that showcases Greek football on the European stage. Bayern’s Head of Youth Development Michael Vißinger praised Karadrikas as “an athletic centre‑back with good ball play” and confirmed a long‑term contract. The player thanked Atromitos in a farewell message, saying he is “really excited” and will always keep the club in his heart.

The move represents a significant step for the young Greek defender, who will now train at the Bayern Campus and aim to progress toward professional football in one of Europe’s most demanding academies.
