FC Bayern continues to speculate diligently about new additions to the offensive. Harry Kane is an ongoing topic, as is Marcus Thuram. Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting is currently scoring for Munich. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic now gives an insight into future planning.
When asked about England's star striker Harry Kane, Hasan Salihamidžić referred to FC Bayern Munich's own top offensive. "Harry is a top player in the world, but we're not talking about other players who are under contract with other clubs," said the sports director of the German soccer series champions on the TV channel Bild. "We have an attack that can match or be the best in Europe. We have different players. We have tried to put the attack together in such a way that the coach has a lot of options." After the 2-0 win in Hoffenheim, the team has 32 goals this season in the Bundesliga, and according to Salihamidžić they are "satisfied with how things have gone in the last few games. Hopefully we'll continue like this".
Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting is currently shining, with whom a possible extension of the collaboration, which lasted until the summer, should be discussed in due course. "Since Choupo has been there, we harmonize very well up front. He scores, that's important for self-confidence, that helps us a lot. That was his week, he's doing great," said Serge Gnabry, praising the 33-year-old. There has been repeated speculation about a possible Kane transfer. The 29-year-old's contract with Tottenham Hotspur expires on June 30, 2024. Many top international clubs are likely to be interested in signing Kane, who has yet to agree a contract extension with Tottenham.
In the summer, Munich presented the Senegalese Sadio Mané as top access for their offensive. Salihamidžić does not expect Marcus Thuram from Gladbach to be an issue in attack this winter. "We've done a lot this summer of transfers. I think we're very well prepared for the season," said the 45-year-old. In winter you will not be active in the transfer market. Thuram's contract with Borussia expires at the end of the season, Gladbach is fighting for a contract extension.
Salihamidžić again emphasized the great prospects of young star Jamal Musiala. "He has every opportunity. Now we'll just let him play and do magic," said the sports director and answered the specific question about future world footballer honors. "He has every opportunity, he's still young. If he continues like this, then we will all be happy."
