(Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)Bayern Munich’s hunt for a “striker of the future” has been silent, but the club could secretly be eyeing a young Slovenian, who is being referred to as a “Baby Haaland”: Bayern Munich don’t want to spend as much money as they did in the past.

With that in mind, they’ve developed players; they’ve developed young players. This will likewise inform their efforts in the market, as they want to sign young players. This is the job Bayern’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, has been tasked with.

He’s sort of the secret head of the campus (while, technically, on paper, it is Max Eberl). Freund is more than familiar with this line of work, of course, having previously fulfilled this job with RB Salzburg. He’s very good at it.

Freund has a name in mind to add to the campus, which sounds amazing: a “Baby Haaland” by the name of Aron Vučić at Slovenian outfit FC Koper. He’s not an exact replica of Haaland, but you can see why the comparisons have been made when you see this guy! He’s big, he’s tall, he has long hair, and he moves a little like Haaland.

Most critically of all – he’s scoring goals! Bayern Munich, of course, missed out on Erling Haaland despite multiple attempts. But perhaps they’ll get Baby Haaland!

Thanks to YouTube, we found a video and, yes, there is a physical similarity and there appears to be a very nice physical toolset on the player: Erling Haaland is a unicorn, so maybe if they believe Vučić can be a reasonable facsimile, buying low might not be a bad idea.
