No longer interested: Bayern put transfer plans on ice | OneFootball

FC Bayern will apparently no longer actively pursue Dusan Vlahovic for the time being. According to media reports, the Munich club has put its interest in the Juventus Turin striker on hold—mainly due to the outstanding form of Harry Kane.

As transfer insider Christian Falk reports, Bayern has currently stopped its transfer considerations regarding Vlahovic. “There was interest in the Serbian, but I think the club’s current focus is on Harry Kane’s brilliant form and performances,” said the journalist.

This suggests: A transfer of the Serbian national striker, who could become a free agent in the summer of 2026, is currently not an issue at Säbener Straße.

The decision to distance themselves from Vlahovic for now is, according to Falk, also related to Kane’s sporting significance. Since his move in the summer of 2023, the English superstar has been the linchpin of Bayern’s attack. With his goal threat, football intelligence, and leadership qualities, he is considered an undisputed key player—and one of the main reasons for the record champion’s current success.

“Having two high-profile strikers at the club is not always so easy, as Vlahovic would undoubtedly want to play often and, even as a free agent, would demand a high salary,” Falk continued.

In addition, several Premier League clubs—including Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Chelsea—are showing strong interest in the 25-year-old forward. “When such clubs are at the table, it’s about money—possibly a lot of money,” the insider explains.

Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg also recently confirmed that Vlahovic is “currently not a concrete topic” at FC Bayern. Instead, those responsible are focusing on the future of other attacking players.

On one hand, Nicolas Jackson is in the spotlight, currently on loan from Chelsea. There is a purchase option for the 24-year-old, the terms of which, according to Plettenberg, may be renegotiated. “Maybe they’ll negotiate it down again, maybe they’ll look for a completely different profile,” said the transfer expert.

On the other hand, discussions are already underway in the background about a possible contract extension for Harry Kane. According to information from BILD, Bayern wants to approach the Englishman in spring 2026, when his release clause expires.
