Bayern Keep Benjamin Sesko on Shortlist for Future Strike Role

Insider reporting says Bayern view Sesko as a 'pure striker' to pair with Harry Kane, with Ismael Saibari set for assessment before any formal approach.

Overview

  • Christian Falk of CF Bayern Insider reports that Benjamin Sesko remains on Bayern Munich’s shortlist as a potential future signing.
  • Bayern’s longer-term plan is to shift Harry Kane into a deeper playmaking role and pair him with a 'pure striker' who can operate up front.
  • The club have added Ismael Saibari this summer and plan to test him in the target role, which could delay or remove the need for an immediate bid for Sesko.
  • Sesko is 23, joined Manchester United from RB Leipzig for about £74 million and scored roughly 11–12 goals in his debut season, making him a valuable but developing asset.
  • Reporting is insider-sourced and not confirmed by the clubs, and media outlets warn that any renewed Bayern pursuit during the current transfer window would force Manchester United to seek striker reinforcements quickly.
