Bayern Munich has already chosen Harry Kane's successor

FC Bayern Munich is already working on a long-term plan for Harry Kane's successor and is keeping an eye on Nick Woltemade, a 24-year-old German forward who belongs to Newcastle and is currently on loan at Juventus until June 2027. The Bavarian club sees the German international as an option for the future attack once Kane's era in Munich comes to an end.

This move does not imply an immediate departure of Kane. The 33-year-old forward has a contract until June 30, 2027, and Bayern is in talks to extend his deal. However, the club is proactive in exploring alternatives for a position currently held by a set starter.

FC Bayern Munich Keeps an Eye on Nick Woltemade

Nick Woltemade is a familiar name for FC Bayern Munich. The forward was previously linked to the Bavarian club before leaving Stuttgart in 2025

His debut season in England saw him play 53 matches, scoring 11 goals and providing 6 assists across all competitions. In the Premier League, he featured in 33 games, contributing to 11 goals, before temporarily leaving Newcastle this summer.

Juventus brought in Woltemade on September 1 on loan until June 30, 2027. The forward remains a Newcastle player, meaning any permanent move would involve negotiations with the English club.

The interest also aligns with Bayern's strategy of targeting young talents for their future attacking lineup. Woltemade, at 24 years old, is nine years younger than Kane and has prior Bundesliga experience from his time at Werder Bremen and Stuttgart.

Harry Kane Continues Leading in Munich

The search for a successor does not alter Harry Kane's role at the moment. The striker ended the 2025/26 season with 61 goals in all competitions for Bayern and remains the offensive cornerstone under coach Vincent Kompany.

Kane arrived from Tottenham in August 2023, with his contract expiring in 2027. Talks have begun over extending his contract, and Kane confirmed a preliminary meeting between the parties at the end of August.

Therefore, the potential move for Woltemade is a part of Bayern's medium to long-term planning and not an immediate replacement for the upcoming transfer window. Negotiations for extending Kane's contract are ongoing, considering he is under contract with the club.

FC Bayern Munich will continue monitoring Nick Woltemade's season at Juventus before deciding whether to pursue a deal for the German forward. His loan expires in June 2027
