Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer believes that his team suffered from a lack of an out-and-out striker in the Champions League.

Thomas Tuchel's side drew 1-1 with Manchester City in the second leg of the quarter-final on Wednesday, having lost the first leg 3-0.

The only goal that Bayern managed to score across the two games was a Joshua Kimmich penalty.

''It was obvious we didn’t have a #9 who would change things up front,'' Hainer said, via @iMiaSanMia on Twitter.

''You can assume that we’ll strengthen our squad to be able to compete in the league and Champions League.''

It would appear that Hainer is right in saying that Bayern need to sign a striker in the next transfer window.

The Bavarian club lost Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona last summer and failed to adequately replace him.

Sadio Mane, signed from Liverpool, has often been asked to play in a false nine position that does not suit him.

While Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who has scored 10 Bundesliga goals in 2022-23, is an excellent backup but an average starter for a team of Bayern's calibre.

Bayern Munich NEED Harry Kane

Bayern should set their sights on Tottenham star Harry Kane as they look to back head coach Thomas Tuchel in the transfer market.

Kane, who will be entering the final year of his Spurs contract in July, could be made available for a cut-price fee.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had been holding out for an offer upwards of £150 million for the club's record goalscorer.

But Levy could be forced into selling the 29-year-old for far less than £100m due to his contract situation.

This would represent excellent business for Bayern, who would need to see off interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.

Adding Kane to their current squad would make them Champions League favourites overnight.
