Jackson alternative? Bayern rumours about Vlahovic refuse to go away | OneFootball

The rumors surrounding Dusan Vlahovic and FC Bayern are a real evergreen. Now new speculations are doing the rounds – but how concrete is the record champions’ interest really?

The Serbian center forward from Juventus Turin is once again being linked with a move to the Isar, according to BILD. It is said that in recent weeks there has been an exchange between FC Bayern and the 25-year-old’s advisory team. However, according to the report, the initiative for the conversation did not come from the club, but from the player’s camp.

Vlahovic himself is reportedly open to a move to Munich and views the step into the Bundesliga as appealing. But despite the contact, nothing concrete has developed so far—mainly because the striker’s salary is significantly higher than what FC Bayern is currently willing to pay.

Sky: Vlahovic currently plays no role in Bayern’s plans

Sky has also since confirmed the rumors, but emphasized that the Vlahovic matter currently plays no role on Säbener Straße. Board member for sport Max Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund are said not to be actively pursuing the topic. A transfer in the near future is therefore considered unlikely.

According to the pay-TV broadcaster, even a move in the summer of 2026—when his contract with Juventus Turin expires—is not currently a concrete target for FC Bayern. Instead, the focus is on the development of the players already signed and on long-term prospects in attack.

Vlahovic as a possible Jackson alternative?

The name Vlahovic is by no means new in Munich. The Serb has already been a topic on the Isar in several transfer windows. Juventus Turin apparently considered a sale last summer in order to still receive a transfer fee before the striker’s contract ends in 2026.

According to Italian media, the internal price expectation was around 15 million euros—well below his then market value of about 35 million euros. FC Bayern, however, focused on other personnel matters, in particular the signings of Luis Díaz and Nicolas Jackson.

The latter is currently playing a central role in the attack as a loanee. His development is being closely monitored in Munich.

As long as this personnel issue remains open, Vlahovic remains an interesting but not a concrete option for Bayern. However, should the situation at center forward change, the name of the Serbian international could be back on the table in Munich faster than one might think.
