All of the latest stories paint a very bright picture regarding a potential union between Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane.

However, any good jaded Bayern Munich fan knows that just about anything can happen between now and when the times comes for the ink of Kane’s pen to touch paper. Heck, even Bayern Munich is planning that way and is reportedly keeping one eye on Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović.

Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and “several” Premier League clubs like Chelsea FC, Manchester United, and Tottenham are also monitoring the big Serbian:

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and various Premier League clubs are considering a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to Calciomercato.

With the 23-year-old’s future seemingly uncertain, there are plenty of suitors, but the Serbia international isn’t a priority for any of those clubs.

Bayern have considered Vlahovic after moves for Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani fell through, but their priority remains Kane. Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal have all shown interest in Vlahovic, but none have yet made a serious move.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have also been mentioned, with Vlahovic seen as an alternative to Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe for Los Blancos, who would want the move to initially be a loan.

If Bayern Munich cannot get Kane, Vlahović seems like he could be the best “fit” for the Bavarians, who reportedly have some concerns about the Juventus forward and other options like Kolo Muani and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

Kane is Bayern Munich’s guy…but Vlahović could be a very good contingency plan.

Manchester City could be looking to upset the apple cart and launch a massive bid over to FC Barcelona for midfielder Frenkie de Jong:

Manchester City are ready to test Barcelona’s resolve with a €110m bid for midfielder Frenkie de Jong. Ilkay Gundogan has made the reverse move on a free transfer already this summer.

De Jong has long been a target for Bayern Munich. However, nothing serious has emerged after some stories broke about a month ago, indicating the Bavarians could seek to make a move for the Dutchman.

For the first time, it appears that the door really might be open for…
