Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in mix for impressive €60m+ Bundesliga signing

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring Bayern Munich's 18-year-old attacking midfielder Lennart Karl, valued at €60m, but no formal approach has been made.

Bayern Munich's young attacking midfielder Lennart Karl has attracted interest from three Premier League clubs — Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United — according to a report in Bild. The 18-year-old, who can also play as a right winger, has impressed since making his first-team debut during the Club World Cup in June 2025, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists from 51 appearances. He has also earned senior caps for Germany.

Transfermarkt values Karl at €60m following his contract extension to 2029 signed in February. However, Bayern Munich have made clear they have no intention of selling. Honorary president Uli Hoeneß recently stated the youngster needs to develop humility and that comparisons with fellow winger Michael Olise are premature. If Bayern were to sell, they would demand significantly more than the current valuation. The three English clubs have not yet made a formal offer or approach.
