FC Bayern Munich are reportedly drawing up succession plans for Harry Kane, with Victor Osimhen emerging as a key target.
Kane, who joined the Bundesliga champions in 2023, is now 32 years old, and although his current contract runs until 2027, there is growing uncertainty about the club’s long-term attacking options.
The Bavarian giants are said to be assessing potential replacements as part of a broader squad planning strategy.
According to reports by FootMercato, Bayern have identified Osimhen, currently at Galatasaray S.K., as a possible successor to the England captain.
Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany is believed to have tracked Osimhen’s development since his early professional days at Royal Charleroi S.C.. Kompany’s familiarity with Belgian football is said to have given him early insight into the Nigerian striker’s potential during his formative years in Europe.
Osimhen, widely regarded as one of Africa’s most prolific forwards, only made his move to Galatasaray permanent last summer after an initial loan spell. His recent long-term commitment to the Turkish champions could complicate any immediate transfer negotiations.

The Super Eagles forward has maintained a strong scoring record in recent seasons, reinforcing his reputation as a clinical finisher capable of leading the line for elite European clubs.
Bayern are reportedly considering whether to make a move in the coming transfer windows as they seek to gradually transition from Kane’s era.
However, any attempt to sign Osimhen is expected to require significant financial outlay, given his age profile, goal-scoring pedigree, and Galatasaray’s strengthened contractual position.
While no formal bid has been announced, sources indicate that Bayern’s recruitment team is actively evaluating options to ensure continuity in their attacking department beyond 2027.
