Liverpool, Arsenal and a number of other clubs are looking at Bayern Munich teenager Lennart Karl.
In recent windows, we have seen FSG’s transfer policy shift towards signing much younger talent for the future.
January alone saw Liverpool complete a £60m deal for 20-year-old Jeremy Jacquet, while also adding a couple of teenagers to their youth ranks.

Another rising star said to be on the Reds’ radar right now is Bayern Munich gem Lennart Karl.

According to Graeme Bailey on TeamTalk, Arsenal and Liverpool have both made their interest in the teenager known.
They are said to be doing regular checks on Karl, who is currently under contract in Munich until the summer of 2028.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG are also named as interested parties, but it is Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City who have been making regular checks on the latest gem to come out of Bayern.

However, a deal for any of the aforementioned clubs may well prove difficult, as the Bundesliga powerhouse are in talks with Karl about a new four-year deal.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the rising star, but he’s certainly one to watch in the coming years, especially if Thomas Muller’s verdict is anything to go by.

As quoted by iMiaSanMia, the Bayern Munich legend had high praise for the reported Liverpool target at the back end of 2025.
He said: ”His shooting technique is certainly exceptional. He has very good finishing, and that’s already an excellent asset to have. Because if you play in attack for FC Bayern and you’re energetic and agile, you’ll constantly find yourself in scoring positions.
“Therefore, his goals aren’t a fluke; he absolutely has the quality. The question that will determine his future is more about how often he gets into such situations, whether he can create them himself, whether he needs the team to do it for him, and so on.”
Despite still only being 17, Karl has already made 31 appearances for the German powerhouse’s senior side.
The attacking midfielder, who can also play on the right, has scored seven and assisted four in said matches.
