Bayern Munich made a successful signing when they brought Harry Kane to the team. Despite his impressive performance of scoring more than 40 goals in all competitions, Bayern faced challenges in other areas of the pitch, resulting in a season without any trophies for the first time in over a decade.
At 31 years old, Kane has continued his stellar performance from the previous season, already scoring 17 goals and providing five assists in 13 games this season. Both Bayern and Vincent Kompany are pleased with his contributions to the team.
Although Kane is still at the top of his game, Bayern is looking towards the future and scouting potential replacements for the long term. One of the players on their radar for the 2025 summer transfer window is Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush, who can play as a striker like Kane. Additionally, Bayern is keeping an eye on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Loïs Openda, as well as Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres as potential successors.
While there will be competition from other European clubs for these talented strikers, Bayern understands the importance of planning ahead. Mathys Tel was initially seen as Kane’s replacement, but he may require a loan spell before he is ready to compete for a spot in Munich.
After spending over a decade at Tottenham Hotspur, Kane made the decision to join Bayern in 2023. Although he could have stayed in the Premier League and aimed to become the all-time top scorer, the opportunity to win silverware with Bayern was too tempting to resist. However, it is likely that Kane will return to England in the future to pursue the title of the Premier League’s top scorer, currently held by Alan Shearer.
Kane’s contract with Bayern is set to expire in 2027, and it is possible that he may choose to leave the club at that time. In preparation for his potential departure, Bayern is wisely planning ahead by identifying and scouting potential replacements. It would be ideal for Bayern to secure a new striker in 2026, giving the new player a year to settle in before Kane’s possible exit. This proactive approach ensures that Bayern will be prepared for any changes in the future.
