Transfer coup for free? This striker remains in Bayern’s focus | OneFootball

FC Bayern are still on the lookout for a striker to replace Nicolas Jackson, who has been on loan so far, in the summer. A name that has not played a major role recently is now coming back into focus

The record champions‘ planning for the summer is only really getting underway at the moment. FC Bayern are looking for players who can provide immediate help and there is a certain urgency, particularly in attack, where Nicolas Jackson will return to Chelsea FC at the end of his loan deal

A backup for Harry Kane is definitely needed and Bayern need to find the ideal mix of a financially feasible and sporting solution

Vlahovic back in Bayern’s focus

One player who has been very quiet of late is Juventus‘ Dusan Vlahovic. No wonder, as the Bianconeri have been trying to intensify contract talks with the Serbian attacker, and at times it looked very good. However, the talks are extremely complex, with Juventus determined not to go beyond a certain salary limit, according to Tuttosport, among others

One of the main sticking points in the talks is the salary. Vlahovic is the top earner at Juventus and would only be willing to take a small pay cut. According to the report, a number of teams are still monitoring the player and his situation, including FC Barcelona, who are looking for a successor to Robert Lewandowski, but also FC Bayern

Bayern have been linked with Vlahovic several times in the past, so this is nothing new. The record champions‘ plan could be to save the transfer fee and lure Vlahovic with a solid basic salary, performance-related bonuses and an attractive hand money.
