The goalscorer will be 34 in August, and he won't be able to play forever.

So who could one day follow in the footsteps of the red number nine?

Currently, many a candidate comes to mind, there is even a detailed list of Lewandowski's successors.

Marius Soyke, an expert from

, speaks to

and

in detail about the possible Bayern center forwards of the future.

Sébastien Haller: Lewandowski's successor at Bayern Munich?

"Probably makes sense"

"From a playful point of view, the recently mentioned Sébastien Haller actually makes sense," explains Soyke.

The Ajax Amsterdam striker combines "physicality, technique and a nose for goals like Lewandowski, and does not have to rely purely on his speed or his dribbling".

So will Haller be Lewandowski's successor?

The native Frenchman, who plays for the Ivorian national team, has been scoring extremely reliably for years, only having a small dent in 2019/20.

His data at a glance - all national and international competitive matches at club level were taken into account (as of May 3, 2022).

• 2021/22 (Ajax Amsterdam): 40 games, 33 goals, 9 assists

• 2020/21 (West Ham United and Ajax Amsterdam): 42 games, 20 goals, 8 assists

• 2019/20 (West Ham United): 35 games, 7 goals, 2 assists

• 2018/19 (Eintracht Frankfurt): 41 games, 20 goals, 12 assists

Transfer expert Soyke on Haller: "He would be enough to continue dominating the Bundesliga"

So Haller scores, in the current season he has even proven on the international stage that he can do it: eleven goals in eight Champions League games.

Soyke is certain: "The ex-Frankfurter would definitely be enough to continue dominating the Bundesliga." But will the 27-year-old have the quality at the top to score the decisive goals in the premier class?

This is exactly what the Bayern bosses around sports director Hasan Salihamidzic should be doing at the moment.

Soyke's response: "Doubtful."
