Bundesliga Gossip: Bayern Munich Goes for Schick – Kane's Secret Weapon?
Bayern Munich starlets plot to secure Leverkusen's Schick as Kane understudy - Bayern Munich requests Bayer Leverkusen to support Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich, the reigning German champions, have shifted their focus to another star from fallen champions, Bayer Leverkusen. Following the pursuit of Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah, the Bavarian giants are reportedly eyeing midfielder Patrik Schick, according to Bild newspaper. This Czech powerhouse could be the hidden weapon for Bayern's striker, Harry Kane.
This 29-year-old talent has been a member of Leverkusen since 2020, and his contract extends until June 30, 2027. According to the Bild report, Schick might depart Leverkusen for around 25 million euros, considering his impressive performance for Leverkusen, accumulating 79 goals in 166 games. This season alone, Schick, along with Kane and Serhou Guirassy from Dortmund, tops the Bundesliga goalscorers chart with a notable 19 goals.
Yet, the question remains whether Schick would be willing to play the second fiddle to Kane and whether Leverkusen would sell their leading goalscorer to a rival for 25 million euros. With Premier League heavyweights like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United also showing keen interest, this transfer saga is just heating up.
