Kane successor? Top striker eyes Bayern move | OneFootball

Harry Kane is currently firing on all cylinders at FC Bayern – but in the long term, the question arises as to what the future holds for the 32-year-old striker. There has long been speculation that the English international could leave the record champions in the summer of 2026. Now, the Italian press is bringing a prominent name into play: Dusan Vlahovic.

The 25-year-old striker from Juventus Turin recently attracted attention with two goals and an assist in the spectacular 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, FC Bayern is among his declared dream clubs – alongside Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The Serbian international “can very well imagine” a move to Munich.

Vlahovic has been repeatedly linked with FCB for years. After Robert Lewandowski’s departure in the summer of 2022, he was already considered a candidate before he moved from Fiorentina to Juventus for around 85 million euros. His contract there runs until the end of the 2025/26 season – an extension is considered unlikely. Juve is reportedly interested in removing the top earner from their payroll.

This would mean the striker would be available on a free transfer in the summer of 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is around 35 million euros.

Kane’s Future Will Decide Bayern’s Plans

Whether Bayern will actually get serious depends heavily on Harry Kane. The Englishman, with ten goals and three assists in six competitive matches, is the outstanding attacking player in Vincent Kompany’s team this season. However, according to media reports, Kane has a release clause of around 65 million euros for the summer of 2026. This would allow him to wind down his career in the Premier League – a scenario that the club’s management on Säbener Straße must at least consider.

One thing is clear: With Vlahovic, a familiar name is once again appearing in the speculation about FC Bayern’s striker plans. Should Kane actually leave in 2026, the Serbian free agent would be a hot candidate – and for Vlahovic himself, Munich would be a dream destination.
