Bayern Munich target Endrick in new move to replace Harry Kane

Bayern Munich are preparing a new move to sign Endrick, with the Brazilian teenager seen as a long-term successor to Harry Kane, according to Defensa Central. The Bavarian giants are closely monitoring the striker’s situation at Real Madrid, where competition for places has intensified.

Kane’s uncertain future

Kane, 32, has a contract with Bayern until 2027, but speculation about his future continues. The England captain has drawn interest from both the Premier League and Barcelona, where president Joan Laporta has reportedly approved the idea of bringing him in as a marquee striker in 2026.

If Kane departs before his deal expires, Bayern plan to accelerate their pursuit of Endrick, who remains highly rated in Germany after previously being tracked during his Palmeiras days.

Endrick’s challenge at Real Madrid

Currently valued at €35 million (R$221 million), Endrick has a contract with Real Madrid until 2030. However, the young forward is facing stiff competition for the No. 9 role, not only from Kylian Mbappé, but also from academy talent Gonzalo García, who has impressed since moving into the first team.

While Real Madrid has no intention of sanctioning a permanent transfer, Bayern believe Endrick could thrive in a project offering him regular minutes and a central role in their rebuild.

Different profiles, same goal

Despite the contrast in playing style and physique between Kane and Endrick, Bayern view the Brazilian’s explosive talent and adaptability as crucial assets for the future. The German club’s interest aligns with their long-term policy of blending established stars with rising prospects.

Barcelona’s plan for Kane

By 2026, Kane will be 33 and entering the final year of his contract. Barcelona, unlike Bayern, are open to signing a veteran striker, and their board reportedly considers Kane the ideal centerpiece of their attacking project. That scenario could open the door for Bayern to step up their push for Endrick.
