Michael Olise
March 2026
Kramer called Olise the best Bundesliga transfer of the last decade on price-performance, praising his decision-making, press resistance, and impact since joining from Crystal Palace for €53m. He highlighted Olise’s ability to keep the ball and pick the right option even under tight pressure, saying he “does everything right.”
Jadon Sancho
March 2026
Reports say Dortmund are discussing a third stint for Sancho, potentially on a free when his United deal ends, as they plan to replace Brandt after deciding not to renew his contract. Dortmund want a versatile attacker who can play central or wide roles; Brandt is expected to move on and has been linked with Spain, with Barcelona rumours referenced.
Konrad Laimer
March 2026
Eberl confirmed Bayern want to extend Laimer but negotiations are on hold. Reports point to a major gap in salary expectations. Laimer’s camp is said to want a large raise for a prime final contract, while Bayern are reluctant to break their wage structure, with comparable earners cited as reference points.
Robert Lewandowski
March 2026
Lewandowski said he is watching Kane’s push toward his Bundesliga single-season record and feels pride rather than resentment. He highlighted Kane’s consistency, noted he set 41 league goals in 29 games in 2020-21, and suggested the comparison reinforces how strong that record season was.
Karim Adeyemi
March 2026
Adeyemi has not signed a Dortmund extension, with reports saying he is waiting to see if Premier League interest materialises while his form and role dip. Dortmund have an extension ready, but he is hesitating after limited output since late November and reduced minutes under Kovac, with England seen as his preferred next step.
Michael Olise
March 2026
Liverpool are stepping up plans for life after Salah and are tracking Bundesliga options, including Olise, as a potential long-term replacement profile. The report notes Liverpool’s history of Bundesliga recruitment, but flags Olise as difficult due to a long Bayern contract to 2029 and no release clause, making a deal unlikely unless Bayern soften their stance.
Vincent Kompany
February 2026
Vincent Kompany said Bayern are “very happy” with Nicolas Jackson but would not confirm any summer decision, with reports suggesting he is unlikely to be signed permanently and may return to Chelsea. Jackson is on a season-long loan with conditions tied to appearances and minutes, but his usage has been limited and he did not feature in the 3-2 win over Frankfurt. Kompany pushed any decision to end-of-season talks between player and clubs.
Vincent Kompany
February 2026
Kompany said Kane prioritises retaining the Bundesliga title over chasing Lewandowski’s single-season scoring record, though he admitted the striker could still make history. Kane’s brace took him to 26 league goals and 500 professional career goals, becoming the first Englishman to reach that mark. Lewandowski’s 41-goal Bundesliga season record is now the benchmark Kane could realistically challenge if his scoring rate continues.
Harry Kane
February 2026
Kane scored twice to reach 500 senior goals for club and country. His season output is framed as elite form heading toward the World Cup. One goal came from the penalty spot after Karl was fouled and VAR upheld the decision. The piece also states Kane has scored 41 in 35 this season across competitions and remains perfect on Bundesliga penalties since joining Bayern, converting all 23 attempts.
Harry Kane, Bayern Munich
January 2026
Bayern drew 2-2 at Hamburg, with Kane and Bayern unhappy with officiating and multiple penalty appeals after a first-half spot-kick went against them. Kimmich tripped Remberg for a Hamburg penalty that Kane protested; Hamburg converted. Bayern responded with goals from Kane and Diaz, but conceded an equaliser from Vuskovic’s header. Post-match, Kane criticised the referee despite Bayern’s later appeals being waved away.
