The Bundesliga giants broke their transfer record in the summer of 2023 by enticing the prolific England international Kane away from Tottenham. The deal has proven its value, with the 30-year-old striker notching an impressive 44 goals in his debut season. However, the club also needs to focus on long-term planning.

There are already doubts about how long Kane will remain at the Allianz Arena, despite being under contract until 2027. When the time comes for him to depart, another established goalscorer will be necessary.

Kahn, who has served as both goalkeeper and CEO at Bayern, emphasized the importance of ambition in future transfer windows. He stated to Sport Bild, “Bayern can pursue Harry Kane, and they must consider Erling Haaland. Additionally, Bayern should contemplate Kylian Mbappe. This strategic thinking is crucial because the club has attained such status. It’s not solely about acquiring players of that caliber, but if Bayern aims to maintain their elite status, they need these superstar signings alongside other seasoned players and promising youngsters who can be nurtured from the academy. The right blend is essential.”

Kahn also praised the impact made by the current No.9, stating, “Harry Kane is certainly capable of performing at this level for several more years. His stellar start was to be expected. He’s a seasoned player at the highest echelons of the sport.”

Haaland, who previously played for Borussia Dortmund in Germany, is presently with Premier League champions Manchester City. Mbappe, on the other hand, is anticipated to join Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent this summer, potentially making him unavailable for acquisition for several years.
