With an uncertain future for Harry Kane, Bayern Munich are exploring the market in search of a reliable replacement for the Englishman.
England, with Harry Kane in the lead, has gone through the qualification for the World Cup without losing a point, just like Norway,
Vlahovic reappears on the radar
Dušan Vlahović has reappeared on Bayern Munich’s radar as a possible successor to Harry Kane for next season. Vlahović, whose contract with Juventus expires in June 2026, is proving to be a viable option due to his contract situation.

A classic number 9
The player combines qualities that are attractive to Bayern: he is a goalscorer in the field, has a classic ‘9’ profile, and can be offered a more manageable salary as a free agent. Bayern Munich value the return of a traditional, physical goalscorer and aerial force, which Vlahović fits into.
Vlahović could be part of an aggressive renewal plan at the Allianz Arena if Kane ultimately chooses to leave the club or reduce his role. He appeals not only with his finishing ability, but also with his physique, strength and experience from European top football.
Bayern gathers information
The Bavarian managers have initiated enquiries with the player’s representatives to consider a transfer without a transfer fee, and thus take advantage of his impending freedom of contract. The interest arises in a context where Kane, who has a contract until 2027, may not extend, opening up a crucial scenario for the Munich club.
According to journalistic sources, however, Bayern has not made a formal offer; for now, they are only gathering information.
Doubts in Juventus create an opportunity
Juventus faces a dilemma: to keep Vlahović or let him go for free in 2026. The player has rejected contract extensions, as he is not willing to sign a new deal under the current conditions.
In Turin, they admit that a sale in January or letting him leave for free is attractive to balance the wage budget. For Juventus, it would have been a significant sporting loss, but also a way to free up resources with great financial weight. Some Italian media outlets are already claiming that the “Bianconeri” are looking for other options in the attacking line to replace the Serbian.
Is Vlahović the perfect replacement for Kane?
Vlahović combines physical presence with intelligent movements in the box, making him an ideal fit for the Bavarian style. He also has the ability to create partnerships with other attackers or to play alone as a focal point.
The Serbian has shown consistent goal-scoring, although his performances have been marked by ups and downs, which Bayern are carefully considering. If he signs for the Bavarians, he could take on the role of offensive leader and prepare for an orderly transition in the attacking line.
A new offensive cycle is taking shape
The coming months will be crucial for Bayern Munich: they will have to decide on continuity or invest in a replacement. Vlahović appears to be a realistic and financially viable option, especially if Kane does not extend his contract.
The Bavarian club is seeking a medium-term solution, with someone who can compete today and grow tomorrow. His arrival will allow Bayern to maintain a competitive profile while renewing the squad with young and proven talent.
The possibility of signing Dušan Vlahović is gaining more and more strength as part of Bayern Munich’s new offensive project.
