Jonah Kusi-Asare Harry Kane Bayern
Bayern Munich have reportedly decided to keep teenage sensation Jonah Kusi-Asare as Harry Kane’s backup for the upcoming season, blocking all loan offers for the 18-year-old. The Swedish striker has impressed during pre-season, scoring against Tottenham and Grasshoppers, prompting Vincent Kompany to fast-track him into the senior squad.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Per Sky Germany, Bayern Munich have informed Kusi-Asare that he will remain with the senior squad this season as Kane’s understudy. The club has rejected all loan approaches from PSV Eindhoven, RSC Anderlecht and Rapid Vienna. The Bavarians are also said to be working on extending the striker’s current contract, which runs until 2026.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Kusi-Asare joined Bayern from AIK Solna in January 2024, initially playing for the U19s before stepping up to the reserve side. He made his Bundesliga debut last season, appearing briefly in a 3-0 win over Mainz. Standing at 1.96m (6ft 5in), the Swedish forward of Ghanaian descent has caught the eye with his physical presence and composure in front of goal.

Bayern have endured a quiet transfer window so far, with only three major signings – Tom Bischof, Jonathan Tah and Luis Diaz. Manager Kompany is leaning on academy talent to fill squad gaps. Kusi-Asare’s pre-season form has convinced Die Rekordmeister that the 18-year-old can contribute in a backup role while continuing his development at Allianz Arena.
