Sources close to the agents industry confirmed to CaughtOffside that representatives from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City were in attendance to watch 17-year-old Bayern Munich right-winger Lennart Karl during a Champions League match against Club Brugge. While English clubs will continue to monitor him, sources indicate that serious approaches are anticipated for the summer of 2026 rather than mid-season. The Bavarians consider Karl a key player for their future, which is reflected in a notional valuation in the €70-80 million range. Bayern intends to keep him and holds contract leverage as his deal runs until 2028, but the summer of 2026 could become a period of competition for him if his development continues.
