VfB Lübeck extends young star Mika Lehnfeld until 2026!
On June 24, 2025, there is reason to be happy for VfB Lübeck: Mika Lehnfeld has extended his contract with the club for another year until the 2025/26 season. The just 19-year-old, who spent his entire football career at VfB Lübeck, has become a permanent fixture in the squad. Lehnfeld began his career at VfB in 2015 after taking his first steps at SC Buntekuh.
Last season, the versatile offensive player excelled with 17 appearances in the Regionalliga Nord and 20 games in the Oberliga Schleswig-Holstein. His decisive penalty in the state cup semi-final against PSV Neumünster and the goal against the second team from FC St. Pauli will be particularly memorable. This performance not only earned him the recognition of his teammates, but also made him an identified player in the club. Lehnfeld himself is overjoyed about his first professional contract and emphasizes the importance of the trust the club has placed in him.
A strong commitment from the club
Sports director Sebastian Harms is convinced that Lehnfeld has great potential and will further strengthen its connection to VfB Lübeck. This development shows that the club is investing in young talents and giving them the opportunity to develop further. This strategy is not only important locally; There is also a nationwide trend towards early signings of young players, as mentioned on the Young Talents Group website. However, there are ethical, legal and social questions that should not be ignored.
In other leagues and clubs there are also ongoing discussions about signing young talents. Although clubs like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are signing children at a very young age, we must ask ourselves: what responsibility do these clubs have for the development of their players? Critics warn that children are often unable to understand the long-term commitments of a professional contract and that both players and their families can suffer enormous pressure.
The perspective on young talent
The signing of young players, whether in football or other sports, should follow clear guidelines and ethical practices. In the world of football, the stories of players like Lionel Messi and Ansu Fati are well known, who started great careers at a very young age and are now celebrated for their brilliance. But the downsides and potential dangers should not be neglected either. We hope all the more that, as in the case of Mika Lehnfeld, the focus will be on the healthy development of young talents instead of quick fame.
Young players like Lehnfeld are not only a beacon of hope for their club, but also a sign of sustainably committed youth work. The future of VfB Lübeck could look promising if the right decisions are made and the talents are promoted accordingly.
