Sources close to the agents industry have confirmed to CaughtOffside that representatives from Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea were in attendance to watch Lennart Karl. While English clubs are monitoring the player, sources indicate that serious approaches could arrive in the summer of 2026 rather than mid-season. The Bavarians view Karl as a key player for their future, and that belief is reflected in a notional valuation in the €70-80 million range. Bayern intend to keep him and are in a strong position to do so, with his contract running until 2028, but the summer of 2026 could become a time of competition for him if his development continues.
