FC Bayern are apparently already thinking about the future of their striker. While those responsible are working on a contract extension with Harry Kane, the Munich club are also looking at possible successor candidates – one of whom is currently playing in Denmark
Bayern bosses have repeatedly emphasized in recent months that they are planning for the long term with Harry Kane. According to reports, the record champions are aiming to extend the contract with the England international. The goal is a new contract until 2028, which should give the club additional planning security in the central striker position
However, those responsible are already looking to the future, with the question of who could one day take over Kane’s role in attack already occupying Munich
Dju still on the Bayern list
One name comes up again and again: Franculino Dju from Danish top club FC Midtjylland
According to several reports, the 21-year-old is still on FC Bayern’s watch list, and the Munich club are said to have been looking closely at the attacker as early as the summer of 2025
According to Sky, the record champions even tried to sign the striker on deadline day, with FC Bayern submitting an official offer that Midtjylland rejected
Despite this rejection, interest has apparently not cooled
Bayern convinced of Dju’s development
As the Transferfeed portal reports, Bayern are continuing to monitor the attacker’s development very closely. Internally, Dju is seen as the „ideal candidate“ for a long-term generational change in the forward line
A look at his current performance data explains why the player is rated so highly in Munich. In the current season, the attacking player has scored 24 goals in 30 competitive games – an impressive rate for a 21-year-old
Midtjylland demands high transfer fee
However, a potential transfer is likely to be anything but cheap. According to Transferfeed, FC Midtjylland are demanding a transfer fee of around 45 million euros
Transfermarkt currently estimates the striker’s market value at around 22 million euros, although this has risen sharply in recent months. In the summer of 2025, the attacker was still worth just 13 million euros
For this very reason, Bayern are apparently considering an early transfer. Even if Kane extends his contract, the record champions could make another attempt next summer. The idea behind this is that Munich expect the striker’s market value to continue to rise significantly in the coming years
From Bayern’s point of view, an early move could therefore prove to be a strategically smart transfer in the long term – and lay the foundations for the time after Harry Kane.
