Bayern Munich hopes to strengthen itself next summer with a permanent replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The Polish super striker left for Barcelona last July, after which Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting took over at the Allianz Arena. The Record Master are aiming for a more respected striker next season, however, as Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) has been identified as a prime candidate. Le Parisien reports on Wednesday, however, that the Englishman is also on the radar of the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain.

Kane still has a contract with Tottenham until mid-2024, making him an interesting candidate for European superpowers. The Spurs will have to sell the 29-year-old striker to have some money left over from his departure, as negotiations about a new contract are going smoothly. According to Le Parisien PSG sees Kane as the ideal attack partner for Kylian Mbappé, now that it seems that Lionel Messi will leave the French leader at the end of June.

Rasmus Hojlund
Bayern has been eyeing the arrival of Kane for some time, but is now taking into account a doomsday scenario. As a result, the club is focusing on several alternatives. Victor Osimhen (Napoli) and Randal Kolo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt) have been high on the Bavarian list for a long time, but seem to be two expensive candidates. Bayern expects to have a better chance of the arrival of Atalanta striker Rasmus Højlund, who is making waves in Serie A this season. Although the Dane is fixed in Bergamo until mid-2027, he will be a lot cheaper than his competitors.

Højlund has been playing for Atalanta since last summer, which transferred more than seventeen million euros to Sturm Graz for his services. In Scandinavia, the twenty-year-old left leg is seen as ‘the next Erling Braut Haaland’. After a somewhat stiff start, Højlund is now starting to loosen up in Italy. In 28 official games for Atalanta, the Dane scored eight goals and three assists. After his first four international matches for Denmark, Højlund already has five hits.
