Bayern Munich have begun planning for a future beyond Harry Kane, with the Bavarian giants reportedly eyeing Hoffenheim’s young striker Fisnik Asllani as a potential long-term replacement.
The 23 year old has made an impressive start to the season, netting six goals in nine appearances. His form has caught Bayern attention, prompting the club to look into his release clause ahead of the summer transfer window.
Barcelona are also said to be seriously interested in the Kosovo international, who has quickly become one of Europe’s most-watched young forwards thanks to his sharp finishing and quick attacking play.
While Kane remains Bayern main man up front, the club are keen to ensure depth in attack and are ready to compete with other European heavyweights for Asllani’s signature.
According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany, Bayern have officially added Asllani to their shortlist of potential successors for Kane starting from the 2026/27 season. Sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are reportedly impressed by Asllani’s development and have already gathered information regarding his release clause.
Asllani is expected to leave Hoffenheim after this season, putting Bayern among several top clubs monitoring his situation closely. The Kosovo striker has so far recorded six goals and two assists in nine matches across all competitions this campaign.
His standout performances have made him one of the most talked-about young strikers in Germany. Bayern interest highlights the club’s long-term strategy to build a sustainable attacking lineup.
Eberl and Freund are prioritizing succession planning and smart recruitment over simply chasing big-name signings. Asllani fits that vision perfectly a technically gifted, hardworking forward with room to grow under Bayern system.
With a reportedly manageable release clause, Bayern could make a relatively low-risk move for a striker boasting significant upside. However, competition from Barcelona and other top European sides means securing his signature won’t be easy next summer.
