According to sources close to the agents industry who confirmed it to CaughtOffside, representatives from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City were in attendance to watch Bayern Munich's Lennart Karl during a Champions League game against Club Brugge. While English clubs continue to monitor him, sources indicate that serious approaches are expected in the summer of 2026 rather than during the mid-season window. Bayern Munich views Karl as a key player for their future, a belief reflected in a notional valuation of €70-80 million. The club intends to keep the player and is in a strong position to do so, as his professional contract runs until 2028, but the summer of 2026 could see competition for the player if his development continues.
