Overview
- Goal reports the Hertha Berlin teenager intends to leave this summer, with a variable clause of €10–12m active in his deal to 2029.
- Bayern Munich are pushing hard, with Sky Sport reporting two meetings and proposals that include specific first‑team involvement next season.
- Manchester City are pursuing a sign‑and‑loan plan to Bayer Leverkusen, and Sky’s Florian Plettenberg says Pep Guardiola is personally engaged.
- Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are exploring sign‑and‑loan routes because FIFA and post‑Brexit rules bar non‑UK players from moving to England before 18.
- Plettenberg disputes claims that Borussia Dortmund lead the race, as RB Leipzig and Leverkusen stay in contention and clubs focus on pathways rather than the modest fee.
