When they had the chance, they should've gone for Haaland. Back to the question, they should put in a serious bid for Harry Kane

Bayern aren't going to spend that amount of money in the short or medium term. That's just the way most German teams operate.
That's why they'll never get Kane or Osimhen unless the players run their contract out like Lewandowski.
about how much money are we actually talking? Kane has only one year left and Hainer (Bayern's president) confirmed they could afford a 100m transfer without any issues. I honestly can't see Levy demanding more than 100m, plus it would be a transfer outside of England which should be in his interest if Kane wants to leave.
Keep in mind Bayern spent 80m and 70m for defenders in the past already and I simply don't think that 100m would be suddenly too much for them.
I think the actual issue is if Kane would even want to leave England. That's what I doubt. Not only do English players rarely leave England in their prime, but Kane is also close to break Shearer's record (which is a PL-only record and I will never understand why the history of the First Division gets excluded in England). I just don't see it.
And Osimhen is just paper talk, everyone who knows de Laurentiis should know that Napoli will never sell for anything which is not absurd (200m+).
Seems like they've offered €70m which was never going to be enough.
Around €100m is what I'd expect Levy to accept if Kane wants to go. I don't know if they'd go that high for a soon to be 30 year old who had regular ankle issues a few years ago (doesn't seem to be as much of an issue as a few years ago though).
The defenders they bought were quite young when they were signed.
Reading your post I can see why Bayern are having a problem with replacing Lewandowski. Without taking a gamble in the market for a top tier striker, I feel that they will struggle without a proven goalscorer.
Personally I would hope for Lukaku (Chelsea Lukaku, not good Lukaku)
My biased opinion would be Balogun
