Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are all reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich youngster Jamal Musiala.
The Germany international is one of European football's hottest talents, scoring 38 goals in 144 appearances for the Bavarian giants since making his debut in June 2020.
Musiala has only started eight matches for Thomas Tuchel's men in the Bundesliga so far this term, however the attacker netted a brace in the 3-0 success over Hoffenheim on Friday evening.
Having represented England at youth level leading up to the Under-21s, the forward went on to pledge his international allegiance to Germany, and has since earned 25 senior caps.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are all keen on the acquisition of Bayern Munich's Musiala during 2024.

The report claims that contract negotiations between the 20-year-old and the Bavarian giants have stalled in recent times, giving the Premier League quartet a chance to swoop in for a deal.
Musiala is contracted at the Allianz Arena until the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, however the Bundesliga champions are determined to commit the player's long-term future.
It is understood that the attacker is demanding a significant increase in his weekly salary, representing the improvements that he has made since agreeing his current terms.
With an estimated value of around of €100m (£86m), any potential suitors will not be securing the services of Musiala on a budget outlay.

Top of Arsenal's to-do list is the signing of a top-class striker to support Gabriel Jesus and academy graduate Eddie Nketiah, who has been linked with a switch to Crystal Palace.
Treble winners Man City are said to be interested in Musiala, with Pep Guardiola looking to find replacements for the talents of Riyad Mahrez and Cole Palmer, who both departed in the summer.
Liverpool focused the bulk of their summer transfer window on reshaping their midfield ranks following the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho from Anfield.
Musiala and his Bayern teammates will be aiming to close the four-point gap to league leaders Bayer Leverkusen when the Bavarians host Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
