This weekend is the kickoff to a crazy summer for Bayern Munich. In 2022, Bayern Munich was talking to Erling Haaland, denied it for months, and then when things leaked, fans got a little excited about the possibility of the big Norwegian playing the No. 9 in Bavaria.
Ultimately, it did not happen as Bayern Munich did not want to extend itself financially as far as Manchester City pledged to do. It was a brief tease for most (except those Haaland truthers who were there long before the Spring of 2022), but a tease nonetheless.
When Robert Lewandowski took his name off the marquee and moved to FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich tried to put a Sadio Mané-sized band-aid over the gaping hole at striker and it did not work. The vacancy for a world class striker is still there just about a year later.
Now, Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is ? allegedly ? interested in a move to Bayern Munich. This would represent a transfer that could be a complete game changer for the Bavarians. Simply put, Bayern Munich cannot set itself up for a kick, only to pull the ball away at the last minute a la Lucy in Peanuts giving ol? Charlie Brown the runaround for the millionth time.

After the failed Declan Rice courtship ? which had much the fanbase in a complete and utter fervor ? Bayern Munich cannot fail this time.
It just cannot.
Kane represents the best option ? bar none ? for a player to come in an be an impact player at striker ...
