Luka Jovic could succeed Robert Lewandowski in the event of Bayern Munich leaving.

The Real Madrid striker would be available cheaply.

Munich – The sporting history of FC Bayern Munich can be quickly told in the 2021/22 season.

In the end it will "only" be the German championship for the Reds, in the DFB Cup and in the Champions League they had to give up early.

On the other hand, it remains exciting on Säbener Straße in other respects: who is coming, who is going, who is staying?

The rumor mill is bubbling, a number of Bayern personal details are being discussed.

First and foremost: Robert Lewandowski.

Robert Lewandowski: Change from FC Bayern to Barcelona?

What will become of Bayern's super striker, who has been delivering goals like an assembly line for years?

Talks are currently being held, and a move to FC Barcelona has been under discussion for weeks.

Nothing has been decided yet, all three scenarios are still conceivable: sale in summer 2022, free transfer at the end of the contract in summer 2023 or an extension in the Bavarian capital.

Lewandowski is not gone yet - and yet the experts in this football world have been discussing who could replace him for weeks.

There are nine prominent names on the Lewandowski successor list, and one favorite has already emerged: Sébastien Haller.

The Ajax forward scores reliably in the Netherlands and also on the European stage and would be relatively cheap in comparison.

Another advantage: He knows the Bundesliga from his time at Eintracht Frankfurt.

At that time he also had a teammate at SBU, about whom there were also rumors about Bayern: Luka Jovic.

And those rumors could be picking up steam again now.

Lewandowski's successor at Bayern: Luka Jovic suddenly in the race

Because: Jovic is on the sidelines at Real Madrid and never made a breakthrough there.

In 2019, Frankfurt sold him to Los Blancos for over 60 million euros, and he has scored just three goals in his 49 games for Los Blancos.

It is completely clear that the signs are now pointing to farewell.

And maybe the Bundesliga will be interesting for Jovic again?

After all, it was outstanding there, scoring 29 times in 72 Eintracht games.

According to Sky information, the 24-year-old would be tempted to return to Germany.

So does Bayern come into play here?

Real Madrid are rumored to be ready to let Jovic go if the price starts at €20m.

By today's standards, it's a bargain price in football, a business worth billions.

The Madrilenians are also dependent on income, after all, large transfers are to take place in the summer - such as that of Kylian Mbappé.

It would be free of charge, but a hefty earnest money would be due.

Real would then have even less use for Jovic if Mbappé was transferred - which in turn makes his departure more likely.

Luka Jovic as Lewandowski's successor at Bayern Munich?

Price could be the deciding factor

So is the staff getting hot?

From Bayern's point of view, the price could ultimately be decisive, after all, the supposed favorite to succeed Lewandowski, Haller, also costs around 40 to 50 million euros in transfer fee.

With all the speculation: Ultimately, all other transfers depend on Lewandowski's future.

If he extends at Bayern, all rumors about a successor should be off the table relatively quickly.

However: The interest in Spain has been around for nine years.
