Kane-Backup: Why Dusan Vlahovic would be a good option for Bayern | OneFootball

FC Bayern are pressing ahead with their squad planning for the summer – and are focusing on targeted reinforcements rather than a major shake-up. Dusan Vlahovic is one name that is once again being discussed at Säbener Straße

The Serbian international striker from Juventus Turin is once again the focus of the record champions. There has already been interest in the past, but now the personnel issue is picking up speed again. The background to this is faltering contract negotiations between Vlahovic and Juventus, according to Italian media reports

An extension is currently proving difficult for the „Old Lady“. The 26-year-old’s high salary is the main source of disagreement. Juventus want to significantly reduce his salary – a point that makes it difficult to reach an agreement

It is precisely this situation that could become an opportunity for FC Bayern. In addition to Munich, AC Milan are also said to be keeping a close eye on the situation. There have been no concrete talks so far, but interest is said to be on the table

Bayern looking for Kane backup

The need in the position is clearly defined. Following the decision not to sign loan player Nicolas Jackson permanently, Bayern are looking for an alternative for the role behind Harry Kane

Although Anthony Gordon is still at the top of the wish list for the attack, the Englishman is not a classic center forward, so it makes sense to also keep an eye on a classic nine-man option

In sporting terms, Vlahovic would add a new element to the squad. The attacker is a physically strong target man who can latch onto balls, lead tackles and provide a presence in the penalty area

Despite an injury-plagued season, he has scored eight goals in less than 900 minutes of action this season and has consistently scored over 20 points in previous seasons – a clear indication of his quality

Compared to Harry Kane, Vlahovic has a different profile. While the Englishman often drops into midfield and controls the game, the Serbian is much more determined to score goals. This addition in particular could be of interest to FC Bayern

However, a transfer is still up in the air at the moment. Vlahovic himself apparently wants to take his time to consider his options, which could be an advantage for Bayern as the market will continue to take shape in the coming weeks.
