Barcelona have joined Arsenal and Chelsea in expressing ‘concrete interest’ in Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane.
Kofane has caught the eye of top clubs around Europe after an impressive debut season in the Bundesliga. The 19-year-old has scored seven goals in 44 matches across all competitions, after joining from Albacete last summer.
Kofane made his international debut for Cameroon in 2025 and has since scored twice in six senior caps. The teenager’s agent, Eric Depolo, has confirmed interest from Arsenal and believes the Gunners could sign a ‘€100m player’.
“Arsenal’s interest is genuine. Mikel Arteta likes him very much. There is contact between me and Arsenal, but their focus right now is to win the league. From there, everything will start moving,” he said.
However, Africafoot have revealed that Barcelona have entered the race, while Kofane as interest from Chelsea, Newcastle, Brentford and Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen are not under pressure to sell, but could cash in if a big offer is received, having missed out on Champions League qualification.
