FC Bayern is one of the few top clubs that are currently in the squad with only one center forward-the offensive is tailored to Harry Kane. Because there is little time left behind, Bayern talent Mathys Tel on February 3 agreed to a loan to Tottenham Hotspur. According to the “Sport Bild”, you work on Säbener Straße at the Sturmzentrum for 2025/26 and what it looks like also depends on whether and when the Spurs Tel Fixed. The sheet names four nine, which are discussed internally, which currently have market values of 25 million to 50 million euros-three of them will be upgraded on March 27 as part of the Bundesliga updates.
Accordingly, Hugo Ekitiké from Eintracht Frankfurt is one of the candidates. The Frenchman came from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2024 and cost a total of 20 million euros. As it turns out, Markus Krösche once again had the right nose, because Ekitiké flourished in Frankfurt and was already directly involved in 27 goals in 38 games this season. It has increased its market value since his transfer from 15 million to 40 million euros and on Thursday the next step in the Bundesliga market value update will follow at 1 p.m.
According to the “Sport Bild”, Eintracht has provided the 1.90 meter U21 international with a price tag of 80 million euros. A magnitude that is known on the Main, because Randal Kolo Muani switched to PSG and Omar Marmough in 2023 for 95 million euros to Manchester City last winter. The question that Ekitiké has to ask is the same that also applies to any other potential Kane backup: is he ready to do without playing time in order to be under contract with one of the world’s biggest clubs?
The latter answered the highly agreed Tel with no, because this season he hardly got a train in Munich and can stay with the Spurs by buying an option for 60 million euros. In the meantime, its market value fell from 50 million to 30 million euros. Only upwards is the market value curve of Benjamin Sesko, which was directly involved in 36 games in 36 games at RB Leipzig. The Slovenian international moved from Salzburg to Saxony in the summer of 2023 for 24 million euros and has increased its market value since then from 24 million to 50 million euros – the next step will follow on Thursday. The RB bosses have “assured” SESKO that it can change in summer if an offer is received from EUR 70 million.
Ekitiké or Sesko transfer would be Bundesliga record-Burkardt has exit clause
Both a transfer from Ekitiké and Sesko would ensure a Bundesliga record, because never before had a player ligainters changed for such a high transfer. The most expensive access from the Bundesliga, which Bayern have signed, was Dayot Upamecano, for which EUR 42.5 million went to Leipzig – after that the obligations of the former Dortmund Mario Götze and Mats Hummels come.
The third option from the Bundesliga would be cheaper: the Mainz international Jonathan Burkardt. The 24-year-old, who can finally play an almost injury-free season, is in the form of his life and scored 15 goals in 22 Bundesliga games-with this he is the most accurate German together with Gladbach’s Tim Kleindienst. Burkardt is scheduled to have an exit clause next summer that enables him to change for 20 million euros. The other young German striker who is currently talking about himself is missing on the “Sport Bild” list: Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade. He will also make a jump in the market value update.
For this, Moise Kean from AC Florence should be on the striker list of sports director Max Eberl. For the Italian international, EUR 77.5 million flowed away. In the summer of 2024 he was available for only 13 million euros after he was more disappointed with Juventus Turin and before as a loan at Everton FC. Kean starts in Florence this season and increased its market value from 14 million euros-like the three candidates from the Bundesliga, he gave up for the Serie A update and increased its value by EUR 10 million. There are three goals for Italy’s national team for his 20 goals in 34 games for the Fiorentina – two of them scored against Germany in the 3: 3 in the Nations League.
The Christopher Nkunku option from Chelsea was discarded last winter for cost reasons, but should not yet completely disappear from Eberl’s radius. It is said otherwise, it is said to be the top striker Jonathan David, which is free of charge at Lilles in summer, who, according to the “Sport Bild”, does not fit the Bavarian profile. Ultimately, a lot depends on the personnel, in which, despite the manageable season last winter, many wealthy clubs were interested. If Bayern succeeds in selling their storm talent, which came from Stade Rennes in 2022 for 20 million euros, Eberl and sports director Christoph Freund have time to sign a top -class position behind Kane. From now on, the focus is on scouting on site and not just on the screen.
