Everyone is talking about Goncalo Ramos after his World Cup hat-trick.
FC Bayern is looking for a striker.
Bastian Schweinsteiger compares the Portuguese with Podolski.
Munich/Doha – The centre-forward is back in fashion.
Big soccer nations like Germany and Spain had to painfully admit that at the 2022 World Cup.
FC Bayern can't do without either.
The record champions tried after Robert Lewandowski said goodbye in the summer, but it didn't go well.
Fortunately, Bayern had a classic nine in their own ranks in Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
For the future, however, the Munich team must prepare for this position at an early stage.
The focus is on Qatar for the World Cup, where a young Portuguese is causing a sensation.
Even ex-Bayern star Bastian Schweinsteiger is enthusiastic and feels reminded of an old friend.

Goncalo Ramos before moving to Bayern – World Cup hero like Klose once?
Hat-trick and assist – Goncalo Ramos almost single-handedly shot Portugal into the World Cup quarter-finals and Cristiano Ronaldo onto the bench in a 6-1 win against Switzerland.
The last time Miroslav Klose scored three goals to start the World Cup was in 2002 in an 8-0 win against Saudi Arabia.
Where Klose ultimately led is well known.
With Germany, the thoroughbred striker became runner-up in the world and later ended up at FC Bayern, not forgetting the 2014 World Cup title, of course.
Will Ramos' path, like that of Klose, sooner or later also lead to Munich?
In any case, coach Julian Nagelsmann and the bosses should be watching the attacker from Benfica Lisbon closely these days.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's contract, who at 33 was not seen as a prime solution after Lewandowski's sale, expires next summer.
A transfer of 21-year-old Ramos would be an investment in the future.

"He reminds me a bit of Lukas Podolski and his shots with his left foot," said Schweinsteiger, who caused a sensation as a young professional alongside the former Cologne player in the German national team.
The fact that Podolski was never really happy at Bayern should not be an argument against a change for Ramos.
That's what the DFB stars from the summer fairy tale of 2006 are doing today

FC Bayern: Ramos transfer is becoming more and more expensive because of the World Cup
The interest of the competition is likely to play a much greater role.
The wealthy England clubs Manchester United and Newcastle United want to sign Ramos in winter, as the English
Sun
recently wrote.
If the shooting star continues to be so accurate at the World Cup, his market value of currently 24 million euros should soon go through the roof.
Ramos also owes his meteoric rise to a German coach.
He scored nine goals in eleven league games for Benfica under Roger Schmidt.
FC Bayern spoke to Ronaldo advisor about Goncalo Ramos
According to reports, Bayern were already on Ramos' turn in 2019.
FC Bayern is said to have met with Ronaldo's advisor last year, and star agent Jorge Mendes is also negotiating Ramos' fortunes.
Last summer, contact was allegedly intensified after the Lewandowski change.
Does FC Bayern hit Ramos this time?
