Overview

• After securing the Franz-Beckenbauer Supercup with a 2–1 victory over VfB Stuttgart, Bayern’s attack showed critical depth issues late in the match.
• Harry Kane described Bayern’s roster as one of the smallest he has played in and urged Max Eberl, Christoph Freund and Vincent Kompany to address the shortage.
• The departures of Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sané and Thomas Müller, together with Jamal Musiala’s ongoing rehabilitation, have significantly reduced Bayern’s offensive options.
• Bayern have held initial talks with Chelsea about a potential move for Christopher Nkunku as a short-term reinforcement on the wing and in midfield.
• Unverified rumours from El Nacional linking Kane to Barcelona and a €65 million release clause in 2026 remain speculative while he is contracted through 2027.
