Lennart Karl, an 18-year-old German, has attracted interest from several top clubs. From the Premier League, Newcastle United and Liverpool are observing his circumstances, while Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested. In Spain, it is reported that Real Madrid is keen to start a new project around the midfielder.
Despite the interest, Bayern's manager, Vincent Kompany, considers a departure for the player to be non-negotiable and wants to keep Karl. If Bayern were to proceed with a transfer, there is talk that a potential fee would be at least 90 to 100 million euros, though it is also suggested that an offer around 80 million euros could be enough to begin negotiations. Karl's contract with Bayern runs until June 2029 and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €60.00m. He has scored 3 goals in 4 Bundesliga appearances this season and has 2 caps and 3 goals for Germany U21.
