Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich forward Lennart Karl, as per TEAMtalk.
The Red Devils currently have Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo as options to deploy on the right flank. However, amid Benjamin Sesko’s recent fitness problems and Joshua Zirkzee’s below-average performances, Michael Carrick has used Mbeumo in the striker position.
On the other hand, following Mohamed Salah’s departure, Liverpool signed Bradley Barcola and Victor Muñoz this summer. However, neither winger is a like-for-like replacement for the Egyptian.
Arsenal, meanwhile, currently have Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka as the right-wing options. However, Saka has sustained an injury recently and is likely to remain sidelined for a few weeks.
Therefore, it appears the Gunners, the Red Devils and the Merseyside club have started exploring options to strengthen the right-wing position next year.
Now, TEAMtalk claim that Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool have expressed their interest in Karl. Although he showed glimpses of his qualities last term, the 18-year-old has struggled to find regular game time this season.
Bayern Munich are even concerned about his off-field behaviour. So, speculation surrounding his future has started emerging, and intermediaries have started making calls to find a new suitable destination for him.

United have been made aware of his current situation, while Liverpool and Arsenal have been monitoring his development closely for a while. So, they know about his situation and could make a move if he eventually becomes available.
Moreover, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also in this race. However, the report state that Bayern Munich are in a strong position to demand a big fee if they are forced to cash-in, as they recently tied him down to a fresh contract until 2029.
Karl, valued at around £50m by Transfermarkt, is a technically gifted left-footed right-winger by trait but is also comfortable in the creative midfield position. He is quick, can dribble past opposition defenders in tight areas and is efficient in creating opportunities for fellow attackers.
The German is a highly talented player and possesses the potential to reach the top. Therefore, he would be a shrewd acquisition for Arsenal, Man Utd or Liverpool should any of those clubs eventually manage to secure his services.
