"It's no big secret that people in Germany don't expect Harry Kane to see out his career at Bayern. I think Bayern are braced for the possibility that he will leave slightly earlier than his contract, which runs until 2027. One way or the other, he and the club need to take a view on this fairly soon. They were pushing for somebody who can both be a backup and an understudy for Kane."
"They looked at [Benjamin] Sesko. They looked at [Nick] Woltemade - they ended up with Jackson, with an obligation to buy. This suggests Bayern are aware of the possibility that Kane might go in a year or two. But at the same time, he's so good that anyone who comes in has to play around him. There is absolutely no chance that Jackson will displace Kane."
Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich in summer 2023 for £86.4m and has won the Bundesliga title and German Super Cup while scoring 91 goals in 100 games. The 32-year-old has two years remaining on his contract, which runs until 2027, prompting a need for Bayern to decide soon whether to extend him to avoid losing him on a free. Bayern signed Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea with an obligation to buy and sought a player to be both backup and understudy. Observers believe Jackson is being positioned as Kane’s eventual successor but will not immediately displace him. Kane ranks second in Premier League all-time scoring with 213 goals, needing 48 more to surpass Alan Shearer.
