Striker search at FC Bayern: For the loan Joshua Zirkzee, an offer will soon flutter in, internally there should also be doubts about a Kalajdzic transfer.

Munich – Robert Lewandowski is known to be leaving FC Bayern Munich, but it is not yet clear whether this summer or next.

In the event of a transfer of the attacker in the coming transfer period, the German record champions would have to take care of an adequate replacement in a timely manner.

Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic is the focus of Munich, but internally there should be doubts about a transfer.

The return of the loaned Joshua Zirkzee seems certain - but Anderlecht apparently wants to sign him.

FC Bayern: Zirkzee on loan with a strong performance – Anderlecht want to keep him

For Joshua Zirkzee, who couldn't get past the established strikers in Munich, the star rose on his second loan.

In Belgium, the 21-year-old has been scoring goals for RSC Anderlecht since August, in his 32 top-flight appearances Zirkzee has scored 15 goals and provided eight assists.

Figures that make other clubs sit up and take notice.

The Dutchman's loan was limited to one season, and a return to Munich is now planned.

However, as the Belgian daily

reports, RSC Anderlecht would like to try to keep the curly hair in their own ranks.

According to the report, the Belgian record champions want to extend the loan for another season.

However, this would probably require a contract extension in Munich, because the current working paper is only valid until June 2023.

FC Bayern: High offer for Zirkzee?

In the summer he is supposed to audition in Munich

However, the Belgians not only have an extension of the loan in mind, according to

the club would even pay a respectable sum for the Dutch U21 international if necessary.

Accordingly, Anderlecht could go to their own pain threshold and present the Bayern bosses with an offer of just under ten million euros.

Since Zirkzee came from Feyenoord Rotterdam in the summer of 2017 for the bargain sum of 150,000 euros, a sale would be worthwhile from a financial point of view.

However, Zirkzee proved in his practical year at RSC Anderlecht that he is probably too good for the Bayern bench.

That's why he should actually audition for head coach Julian Nagelsmann in the summer, as the

writes.

Only then will his future be decided.

FC Bayern: "Considerable doubts" about Kalajdzic transfer - Zirkzee return would have an advantage

Another reason to plan Zirkzee firmly as a backup for the middle of the attack for the coming season is the alleged skepticism within the club towards Sasa Kalajdzic.

As the

reports, there are said to be “considerable doubts” about the Austrian’s commitment at FC Bayern.

Unlike Kalajdzic, Zirkzee doesn't need any time to get used to Munich and even knows Julian Nagelsmann from last year's pre-season, in which he didn't make the best impression - especially due to a missed shot in the friendly against Ajax Amsterdam.

Now he seems to be getting a second chance.
