Reports Say Arsenal Prepare €50m Bid for Leverkusen Teen Christian Kofane

Leverkusen's leverage rests on a 2029 contract term with a €60–70m valuation.

Overview

  • CaughtOffside reports Arsenal are readying an offer of about €50 million for the 19-year-old Cameroon international, a figure below recent valuations cited by other outlets.
  • Previous reports this week described Arsenal as frontrunners and said the club had intensified efforts to secure Kofane ahead of rival bidders.
  • Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Newcastle have also been linked, with some reports adding that Saudi clubs have shown financial interest.
  • Kofane joined Leverkusen from Albacete last summer for a reported fee of around €5 million and has roughly 12–15 goal contributions this season across competitions.
  • He featured in both Champions League last‑16 legs against Arsenal and scored twice at AFCON, performances that have heightened scouting interest, though no agreement has been announced.
