Bayern Munich relies on Kusi-Asare as Kane’s backup – the second row is getting stronger!
In the last few weeks, FC Bayern Munich has made some interesting decisions that could shape the face of the team for the coming season. First and foremost is the young talented striker Jonah Kusi-Asare, who has recommended himself as a potential backup for star striker Harry Kane. Sports director Christoph Freund confirmed that the club is betting on Kusi-Asare and sees him in the first team. This positive development is no coincidence, as Kusi-Asare has had impressive preparation.
How Sports1 reports, FC Bayern wants to tackle future sporting challenges with fresh forces. Kusi-Asare, who came to Munich from Swedish club AIK Fotboll in 2024 for 3.5 million euros, already scored two goals for the Munich amateurs last year and impressed with his talent. He also celebrated his Bundesliga debut on matchday 31 of last season.
Planning for the future
FC Bayern plans to extend Kusi-Asare's contract, which runs until 2026. The direction seems clear: a loan deal, as offered by PSV Eindhoven, RSC Anderlecht and Rapid Vienna, is off the table. Coach Vincent Kompany hopes that Kusi-Asare will fight for his playing time and possibly play in a joker role. Given that Thomas Müller is leaving the club after 25 years, it is important that other players also step into the breach.
Kompany currently does not have a classic backup for Kane, which further increases the challenge for FC Bayern's offensive formation. The situation surrounding another striker, Nick Woltemade, remains uncertain.
Another step in the club
FC Bayern Munich, which was founded on February 27, 1900 and now has over 400,000 members, is not only known for its sporting successes - including 34 championships and 6 Champions League titles - but also for its strong youth work. The FC Bayern Campus, opened in 2017, has established itself as a source of talented players. So it will be exciting to see how Kusi-Asare and other talents will perform in the coming season.
The Bundesliga season will soon begin again in the Allianz Arena, where Munich have played their home games since 2005. Fans and those in charge are excited to see how the new line-ups and young talents will fare in the coming season.
In any case, the signs are good: the club's recent commitment and the gradual development of new, talented players show that FC Bayern Munich is committed to sustainable success. The coming season could be a nice new beginning.
