The first option to replace the Pole is Darwin Núñez, according to the aforementioned medium. In the information they reveal that the football director of Bayern, Hasan Salihamidzic was in Amsterdam on March 15 to watch the Ajax-Benfica match that Darwin decided and he liked what he saw on the ground.
Bayern also know that they will not be able to sign the Benfica striker for less than 80 million euros. His clause is 150 million and he has a contract with the Portuguese club until 2025. The other options are Patrick Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) and Sasa Kalajdzic (Stuttgart). Manchester United also have him on the list of possible reinforcements, although their priority is Harry Kane.
