Kusi-Asare set to remain at Bayern as Kane's understudy
FC Bayern Munich have informed teenage star Jonah Kusi-Asare of their decision to keep him at the club for the 2025/26 season. The Bavarians intend to go into the new campaign with him as one of the backups for Harry Kane, according to Sky Germany. Bayern bosses have now asked the player's camp to reject all loan offers – because he is part of the club's plans. In addition, the current contract of the talented 18-year-old striker is to be renewed and extended beyond 2026. The Swedish gem already showcased his goal-scoring abilities in Bayern Munich's final pre-season friendly win over Grasshopper Zürich. It must be said that Sky believe further signings for the reigning Bundesliga champions before Deadline Day can't be ruled out.

Kusi-Asare scores again for Bayern (video)
Kusi-Asare scores again for Bayern (video) Jonah Kusi-Asare is in great form with Bayern Munich. After finding the net against Tottenham last week, the young Ghanaian striker was on target once again. On Tuesday, Bayern Munich played their final pre-season match against Grasshoppers—a dress rehearsal before the new campaign. And as soon as an opportunity presented itself, Kusi-Asare seized it. Receiving the ball in the box, he unleashed a powerful strike right into the top corner. A true striker's finish—a goal that highlights his growing confidence at the Bavarian powerhouse. The match ended with a 2-1 victory for Bayern. For a player who only recently arrived from AIK, scoring in back-to-back games sends a powerful message. If he keeps up this momentum, Vincent Kompany might well offer him more than just a super-sub role.

Bayern Munich youngster Jonah Kusi-Asare linked to Dutch, Belgian clubs
Score a nice preseason goal against Tottenham Hotspur and you are sure to find your name in the transfer rumor mill. That's what Bayern Munich youngster Jonah Kusi-Asare is finding out after whipping in Bayern's final goal in a 4-0 Telekom Cup win over Spurs, the second of three preseason fixtures for the Bavarians. From Sky journalist Kerry Hau, as captured by @iMiaSanMia: Clubs from the Netherlands and Belgium are interested in Jonah Kusi-Asare and are willing to take him on loan without an option to buy [@kerry_hau] Kusi-Asare, 18, would find himself behind several veterans and potentially fellow youth winger Lennart Karl in the Bayern Munich attack, so a loan could be the best option at this point in his career. The Dutch Eredivise and Belgian Pro League may not match the Bundesliga but should offer competitive top-flight development environments. The youngster's contract currently expires at the end of the season but the Bavarians will probably want to lock him down and see what he can offer in future years.
