Bayern Munich eye Premier League striker Woltemade as Kane successor

Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping Nick Woltemade in mind as they plan for life beyond Harry Kane, the 33‑year‑old striker whose contract expires in June 2027. The 24‑year‑old Germany international remains a Newcastle United player but is spending the season on loan at Juventus after a difficult first campaign in England.

Woltemade’s move from Stuttgart

Woltemade joined Newcastle United from Stuttgart in 2025 in a deal reportedly worth around £69 million. At Stuttgart he had scored 18 goals in 36 appearances and helped the club lift the German Cup. The forward’s height of 6ft 6in gives him an unusual physical presence.

His first season at St James’ Park proved mixed, as he recorded 11 goals and six assists across 53 appearances in all competitions. In the Premier League he found the net eight times from 34 matches. The output fell short of expectations after a difficult campaign in England.

Newcastle allowed Woltemade to join Juventus on a season‑long loan on 1 September. Juventus confirmed the agreement runs until 30 June 2027, giving him the chance to rebuild confidence in Serie A. According to, Bayern could view the loan as an opportunity to monitor his progress.

Bayern’s succession plan

Harry Kane, now 33, is entering the final year of his current contract, which ends in June 2027. He has already said talks over an extension are positive, and Bayern remain keen to retain him beyond that date. The striker recently reached 149 goals for Bayern, underscoring his continued importance.

Bayern Munich could consider Woltemade as a long‑term replacement if they eventually need to refresh their attack. The club’s interest is notable because Kane still dominates their front line, reducing any immediate pressure to force a succession plan. reports the German side are keeping the 24‑year‑old on their radar as they think beyond Kane.

Should Woltemade fail to establish himself at Juventus, a return to Germany may suit him better. His market value would likely be lower than the £69 million Newcastle outlay, potentially creating a bargain for Bayern. Any move, however, hinges heavily on Kane’s future at the club.
