🚨 Jürgen Klopp, Markus Krösche, Sami Khedira, Andreas Rettig (DFB) and Marc Lenz (DFL) are working on plans for a new German league. 🇩🇪
The idea comes from growing concerns over how difficult it has become for young talents to break into first teams. As a result, the group is exploring the creation of a U21 league, designed to help players gain meaningful experience before stepping up to the Bundesliga.
