Top transfer in the summer? Bayern close to Leverkusen star | OneFootball

FC Bayern Munich are looking for new players in several positions for the summer. Will there be a spectacular solution in the striker position?

In the summer of 2025, the record champions snapped up Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea FC as a backup for Harry Kane. The attacker was only loaned out, the conditions for the purchase obligation were no longer achievable early on. Bayern did not activate the option either

This means that something definitely needs to be done in the center of attack. A number of players have recently been linked with Bayern, with rumours surrounding FC Midtjylland’s Franculino and then Hoffenheim star Fisnik Asllani coming back into focus

Bayern have their eye on Leverkusen star

But another player from the Bundesliga has apparently also aroused the interest of FC Bayern: Christian Kofane, the absolute shooting star of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who has even outstripped goalscorer Patrik Schick. Kofane’s advisor Eric Depolo has now confirmed the Gunners‘ interest to Daily Arsenal , among others

„Yes, Arsenal’s interest is real. The coach rates him highly,“ the advisor is quoted as saying. Arsenal could make a move in attack in the summer if Gabriel Jesus leaves the club and they then clearly adjust Kai Havertz’s role. Kofane is unlikely to come cheap, however, as Leverkusen only signed him a year ago and gave him a long-term contract

His advisor certainly knows how to get him talked about prominently. Depolo also confirmed that „Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford and Bayern Munich are interested.“ All of these clubs have contacted him for information, according to his own statement. But how realistic is a potential Bayern deal?

It is definitely realistic that the record champions are also looking at young and developing players in their search for a new player for the attack. However, Kofane may be a little too expensive for the fact that they only have one season of him as a basis for assessing his performance. The summer will show that.
