Bayern Munich has placed forward Kaio Jorge, 24 years old, on their priority list to strengthen the attack for the upcoming summer transfer markets. The Brazilian forward is being targeted by several European teams.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the German club's technical department is monitoring the performances of the striker at Cruzeiro, a club that has set a transfer price between 40 and 45 million euros, with the intention of gradually preparing for the succession of the British player Harry Kane. The next Bayern signing will be a center-forward.

Renewal of Harry Kane and offensive planning of Bayern Munich

The arrival of a new striker does not disrupt Bayern Munich's plans regarding their main offensive reference. The contract of Harry Kane, 33 years old, ends in June 2027, but the Bavarian board is finalizing details to extend his contract for 2 more seasons, until June 2029, after the 61 goals scored by the Englishman last season that earned him the Golden Boot.

In the current season 2026-2027, the British forward has scored 2 goals in 4 official matches. However, the board considers it essential to incorporate a young player who can alternate minutes in the starting lineup before assuming the definitive starting role at the Allianz Arena.

Kaio Jorge's stats in Cruzeiro and competition in Europe

The performance of the 24-year-old striker at Cruzeiro maintains the interest of the German club. During 2026, the attacker has scored 17 goals in 39 matches across all competitions, solidifying the progress shown in 2025, a season where he ended with 26 goals and 9 assists.

Following his previous stint at Juventus where he struggled to establish himself in Italian football, the forward regained consistency in the Brazilian league. Bayern Munich is not the only team following his progress, as Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Aston Villa, Milan, and Fiorentina have also sent scouts to Brazil to evaluate his potential signing.

Conditions set by Brazil

The leadership of Cruzeiro has indicated to interested clubs a transfer fee of 40 to 45 million euros to transfer the player, rejecting any loan with a purchase option.

The German sporting management has the budget to proceed with the operation, considering the possibility of reaching an economic agreement before the end of this year.

The executives of Bayern Munich will hold a planning session in the first week of October 2026 to define the financial strategy. The club's priority is to finalize Harry Kane's extension until 2029 before making a formal offer to Cruzeiro for the Brazilian forward for the 2027 transfer market.
