Schick remains under contract with the reigning champions until 2027, the same year Harry Kane’s contract in Munich expires. However, Kane could potentially leave the club even earlier.
As reported by in early February, the striker included an exit clause when he transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern. This clause allows him to leave the German record champions in the summer of 2026 for a transfer fee of €65 million.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) and Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon) have recently been mentioned as potential replacements, with both reportedly already being discussed internally.
DID YOU KNOW?
Schick would be the much cheaper option, though.
Although he has been an irregular starter for coach Xabi Alonso, with Victor Boniface repeatedly getting the nod, the 29-year-old has scored 15 goals in 20 Bundesliga appearances, with a further six coming in cup competitions.
Meanwhile, Kane has 29 goals in all competitions this season and has provided ten assists. However, he has also spent around 1,000 more minutes on the pitch than Schick and takes the penalties for Bayern.
