Bayern Munich would love to keep Harry Kane…
Šeško already on the outs at MUFC? Vlahović could be next up (We All Follow United)
The never-ending carousel of strikers at Manchester United could still be spinning, despite the acquisition of former RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško — and Bayern Munich could be affected.
With Šeško not immediately meeting expectations, Manchester United might be looking at Juventus free-agent-to-be Dušan Vlahović as its next target. At this point, Vlahović could be Bayern Munich’s No. 1 option to replace Harry Kane should the Englishman leave the club during the summer:
Manchester United were in the market to bring in a new striker not too long ago. Such has been the case at Old Trafford, where they have been shuffling the #9s quite too often. We saw the Manchester Reds bringing in Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee before concluding that neither is working way too fast. While the former was shipped off to Napoli in the summer, the latter has stayed but is on the fringes at Carrington.
That is where the decision-makers at M16 went on to bring Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United in a headline transfer. But the former Red Bull Leipzig striker has found it difficult to fit into the pace and power of the English top tier. He has found it difficult to penetrate in behind the centre backs (something he used to do quite easily before joining United).
And now the Premier League heavyweights have been looking at another option for that striking role. The chiefs at Carrington are said to be looking at Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to the latest reports in Germany (as relayed by Sport Witness).
Kane’s decisions (expected in January) will have a massive trickle down effect on every move Bayern Munich makes. With a dearth of great center-forwards available, the Bavarians will have to strike fast if Kane leaves.
