Bayern Munich might be making moves behind the scenes this summer, and the latest rumor has them targeting a familiar face in Serie A. According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the Bundesliga giants recently held a meeting with the father of Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović to discuss a potential transfer.

Vlahović, now 26, has been on Bayern's radar for years, but this time there's real traction. The Serbian international earns a hefty salary at Juventus, but the Old Lady is reportedly offering him a contract extension worth €7 million per season, plus a signing bonus between €4 million and €6 million. However, after costing Juventus a fortune in transfer fees and ancillary costs, the club is driving a hard bargain—and recent weeks have proven Vlahović's value on the pitch.

So why is Bayern sniffing around? It might come down to uncertainty at the striker position. While Harry Kane is widely expected to extend his contract with Bayern, his deal has just one year left, and delays in finalizing terms have sparked anxiety. Corriere dello Sport even suggests it wouldn't be a shock if Kane followed in Robert Lewandowski's footsteps and left for Spain, with both Real Madrid and Barcelona reportedly in the market for a striker.

The timing is interesting. Nicolas Jackson is set to return to Chelsea after his loan spell, and Bayern could be covering their bases. A top-tier striker like Vlahović doesn't come cheap, but the German club is doing its due diligence—starting with a conversation with the player's inner circle. Whether this is a serious pursuit or just a contingency plan, it's clear Bayern isn't leaving anything to chance this summer.
