"We're happy with Krahl's performance in the past season - it's exactly what we expected. We see a lot of promise in him," commented Thomas Hengen, the managing director of FC Kaiserslautern. Krahl began his career at RB Leipzig's youth academy, but left in 2019 because there were no opportunities for him there. Afterwards, he joined 1. FC Cologne, and finally made his way to Berlin.
