Bayern Munich have begun early considerations regarding the forward capable of leading their attack following the end of the Harry Kane era, placing Norwegian striker Erling Haaland at the top of their wishlist should circumstances align.
According to TEAMtalk, the German champions are conducting preliminary internal assessments regarding a future move for the Manchester City striker, even as board members actively work to secure Kane’s future in Munich with a two-to-three-year contract extension.
Kane’s existing contract with Bayern runs through June 30, 2027, with the club engaged in advanced negotiations with his representatives. While confidence remains high internally regarding a deal, no formal signing has taken place to date.
The timeline for Bayern’s strategic plan remains closely linked to Haaland’s own future. Reports indicate that Real Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring the Norwegian’s status for 2027 should he seek a new challenge away from Manchester City, while Bayern intend to position themselves ready if that window coincides with Kane’s eventual departure.
There are no active negotiations between Bayern Munich and Manchester City, nor has an official bid been submitted. Haaland remains under a long-term contract with the Premier League side extending through the summer of 2034, rendering any prospective transfer heavily dependent on player ambition and club willingness.
Haaland possesses extensive familiarity with German football, having scored 86 goals in 89 appearances for Borussia Dortmund between January 2020 and the summer of 2022 prior to joining City. Furthermore, his father previously disclosed that Bayern Munich ranked as the second choice on Erling’s preference list before finalizing his move to England.
For the immediate future, Harry Kane remains Bayern’s undisputed focal point, having recorded 150 goals in 153 competitive matches for the club. Kane scored 73 goals across 65 appearances for club and country last season, driving Bayern to a domestic treble consisting of the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and DFL-Supercup.
