Overview
- Sky Germany reports Bayern are leaning against exercising the reported €65m/£56m option to buy Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson.
- Bayern are actively searching for a backup striker for next summer, with Hoffenheim’s 23-year-old Fisnik Asllani added to their shortlist.
- Asllani is drawing interest from Barcelona and is understood to have a summer release clause that could make a deal affordable.
- Head coach Vincent Kompany defended Jackson’s contributions and work in training but stopped short of suggesting a permanent move is likely.
- Harry Kane’s prolific form this season and a contract running to 2027 frame the plan to add rotation depth rather than a new first-choice striker.
