Bayern Munich Begin Search for Harry Kane’s Long-Term Successor
Harry Kane’s arrival at Bayern Munich was seen as a pivotal signing, with the 30-year-old quickly becoming a central figure in Bayern’s attack, contributing both goals and leadership. While club officials are reportedly pleased with Kane’s performance, Bayern’s management, led by sports director Max Eberl, is already exploring potential long-term replacements, keeping an eye on the future beyond Kane’s current contract, which runs through 2027.
Mathys Tel’s Struggles
One consideration driving Bayern’s search is the development of Mathys Tel, a 19-year-old forward signed from Rennes in 2022. Despite high expectations, Tel has yet to secure a consistent place in Bayern’s lineup, with recent performances under manager Vincent Kompany falling short. In a recent 4-0 cup win over Mainz, Tel struggled to make an impact in his 45-minute appearance, revealing some frustration as he contends with fierce competition.
Bayern’s roster already boasts high-profile attacking talents like Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, and Leroy Sane, making it challenging for young players like Tel to break through. Kane’s role as the central striker has further limited opportunities for Tel, leading Bayern to assess options for the next generation of their front line.
