Bayern Munich are planning ahead, and the name sitting prominently on that long-range shortlist is Erling Haaland. According to Graeme Bailey for TeamTalk, the German champions are shaping a potential future strategy around the Manchester City striker, while also pushing to secure Harry Kane for the next phase of their attack.
The central detail is clear. Bayern “want Kane to remain in Bavaria for another two years and potentially as many as three”, with confidence growing that the England captain will extend. That expected renewal is the immediate priority, yet behind the scenes the club are “already carrying out due diligence on what comes next for their attack”.
That is where Haaland enters the conversation. Bayern are “assessing the possibility of a future move for the Manchester City striker”, although the report makes plain that any serious attempt would hinge on the timing of Kane’s eventual exit. This is not about an imminent bid, it is about elite succession planning from a club that rarely allows a major position to drift.

There is logic to the thinking. Kane remains “firmly at the centre of their attacking plans”, and Bayern are “working towards extending his stay”. At the same time, they are also “looking beyond the England international’s current deal and assessing the elite options who could eventually replace him”. In that market, very few names carry the same weight as Haaland.
