Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea allegedly consider moving for Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick during this summer's transfer window.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick during this summer's transfer window.

The Premier League trio are all expected to sign a new starting forward in the upcoming market, with Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres and Napoli's Victor Osimhen among the players linked with switches to the Premier League.

However, according to CaughtOffside, another interesting option has emerged for the English clubs, with Schick potentially available for as little as €30m (£25.5m) during this summer's transfer market.

The report claims that Schick's future with Leverkusen is unclear despite the fact that he has a contract with Xabi Alonso's side until the end of the 2026-27 campaign.

The 29-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 25 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions, including 19 goals in 29 outings in the Bundesliga.

Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea 'keen on Schick deal'

Schick made the move to Leverkusen from Roma in 2020, and he has represented his current side on 166 occasions in all competitions, scoring 79 goals and registering 12 assists in the process.

The striker also has an impressive record at international level, scoring 23 goals in 44 caps for Czech Republic, including six goals in seven appearances at the finals of the European Championship.

Arsenal were looking to bring in a goalscorer even before the injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, and their issues in the final third of the field were on full display in their Champions League semi-final with Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are believed to be looking for an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson, with the Blues also keen to boost their options at centre-forward for the 2025-26 campaign.

Could Schick be Hojlund's replacement at Man United?

Man United are also determined to bring in a new forward this summer, with the Red Devils looking to address what has been a problem area during the current season.

Rasmus Hojlund has only found the back of the net on nine occasions in 47 appearances this term, including just four Premier League goals, and Schick could represent a bargain option for Ruben Amorim's side.

Deals for Gyokeres and Osimhen could be difficult to complete due to the finances involved, but Schick's price tag may allegedly be as little as €30m (£25.5m).
