Chelsea, Juventus and several Bundesliga clubs are interested in signing Bayern Munich's talented goalkeeper Leonard Prescott.
Bayern eagerly want to extend the contract of the 1.98-meter-tall shot-stopper beyond 2027, and talks are currently ongoing.
However, Prescott's future remains uncertain, particularly because the prospect of regular game time in Munich is not looking good.
With 23-year old Jonas Urbig set to become the long-term in goal, Prescott would need to put in a significant shift to oust his teammate.
In addition, the USA's federation is also courting Prescott who holds German-American citizenship having been born in New York.
The Americans have already signaled that, with the right development, he could become their number one come the 2030 World Cup.
That temptation offers the 17-year-old yet another reason to seek regular game time at a high level that may mean leaving Bayern.
