Overview
- Arsenal are expected to submit a formal summer offer, according to reports published Monday, with the Gunners seen as ahead of Bayern Munich.
- Bayern have tracked the 19-year-old but are not pushing hard, and sporting director Christoph Freund said the club has made no concrete statements.
- Kofane’s agent, Eric Depolo, confirmed contact with Arsenal and said he values the forward at €100 million, calling him Europe’s best U21 striker.
- Leverkusen are understood to seek about €60–70 million and hold long-term control through 2029, which reduces the chance of a quick sale.
- Kofane has delivered five Bundesliga goals and four assists in his breakout season, drawing interest from Newcastle, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Saudi side Al-Hilal.
