The fact that FC Bayern is said to be one of the clubs that are said to have their eye on Christian Kofane from Bayer Leverkusen has been circulating in the media for some time. An insider now confirms that the people of Munich are fundamentally interested, but emphasizes that their priorities are different.
“There are always conversations in a variety of directions,” said sports director Christoph Freund at a press conference before the Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg (3:2) when asked whether FC Bayern had Christian Kofane from Bayer Leverkusen on the list. “There are no concrete statements on this from the record champions, we are not taking part in speculation. We have never made any water level reports, we will not do that here either,” the Austrian also drew a line in the sand.
The 19-year-old striker’s agent had previously spoken out and listed FC Bayern alongside Arsenal FC as interested parties.
“Bild” football director Christian Falk has now once again highlighted the Bundesliga leaders’ supposed interest in Kofane to “cfbayerninsider.com”, but a deal does not seem to be the Munich team’s primary goal.
FC Bayern interested in Kofane? “It’s true”
“It’s true: There is interest in Christian Kofane and he is on the list. Christoph Freund, the sports director, was asked about this topic and did not deny it,” said Falk. And further: “However, Bayern is not looking intensively for a player in this position. There are still rumors about Fisnik Asllani from Hoffenheim, who is also on this list.”
However, the priority at Säbener Straße is to sign a left winger and a right-back, emphasizes Falk. “If there is still money left over, there would be the possibility of signing such players. Of course it will be difficult if Arsenal play along!” However, in order to have the option of having money for a player in the Kofane category, you would have to give up staff first.
Kofane only moved from the Spanish second division club Albacete Balompié to the Werkself in the summer of 2025 for around five million euros, where he made a huge impact. In 41 games he scored seven goals and prepared eight more.
