With Jackson’s future uncertain, Bayern have begun to look elsewhere. Fabrizio Romano revealed that Bayern held talks in October with representatives of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. The 25-year-old Serbian forward is considered a strong candidate and will likely be a more affordable option, particularly given his contract is set to expire next summer.
Vlahovic has scored eight goals in 18 appearances across all competitions this season and has been performing consistently despite the team's struggles.
While initial reports suggested that extension talks between Vlahovic and the Juventus management were off the table, the situation has changed in recent weeks. According to Calciomercato, the Serie A side are planning to reopen talks for an extension but have not yet met with the Serbian's representatives in person. His chances of staying at the club beyond the summer of 2026 have increased significantly, the report states, but a free transfer remains a possibility.
Meanwhile, Bayern, along with Barcelona and Newcastle United, continue to monitor the situation closely.
