Bayern shortlist Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani as post-Kane depth

Fisnik Asllani (Hoffenheim)
October 2025

Bayern added Asllani—six goals and two assists in nine outings—to a future striker depth list, exploring a manageable release clause amid wider interest including Barcelona. The Kosovan’s link-up play and penalty-box instincts fit succession planning beyond Kane’s peak, aligning with Munich’s long-range squad architecture and multi-season cap table. Scouting focuses on high-press compatibility, channel runs off a dominant 9, and finishing under pressure. With Nicolas Jackson expected permanently, Bayern seek rotation resilience and injury cover. Negotiations hinge on clause structure, player pathway assurances, and minutes behind Kane. Hoffenheim will drive a competitive auction; timing and player preference will dictate final pricing leverage.
