MUNICH (AP) \u2014 Bayern Munich’s newest young sensation is already considering his future elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Lennart Karl, 17-year-old midfielder who joins Bayern Champions League youngest scorer<\/span> He caused laughter, criticism and confusion when he revealed in October that he was dreaming of joining Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, during a Q&A at a gathering of small-town fans, a visit that has become a New Year’s tradition for the club’s players, Karl was asked if he had a “dream club” other than Bayern. <\/p>\n

“Bayern is a very big club anyway and it’s my dream to play there, but I definitely want to go to Real Madrid one day. That’s my dream club, but it’s between us,” Karl said in comments broadcast by Germany’s Sky Sports, drawing laughter from Bayern fans in the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut obviously Bayern is something very special and I have a lot of fun at the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although fans in the crowd seemed to take Karl’s comments with humor, the young midfielder faced criticism online from Bayern supporters who questioned his loyalty to the club.<\/p>\n

Karl, a product of Bayern’s youth team, made his first-team debut in the 10-0 win over Auckland City at the Club World Cup in June, and has become a regular this season, scoring six goals in 22 games. <\/p>\n
