5 potential replacements for Lewandowski at Bayern Munich

#2 Andrea Belotti (A.C Torino & Italy)

The Rooster could become a crowd favourite at the Allianz Arena

The most experienced player on the list, Bayern will be getting a striker who may be able to deliver now and for the long term if he signs.

Nicknamed Il Gallo (The Rooster) due to his antics whenever he scores, Belotti is seen as the present & future of the Italian national team; Gli Azzurri (The Blues), an idea that will be fanned into a blazing fire if he signs for the Bavarians.

A prolific goalscorer, he is capable of scoring with both feet and is also very fast. He is also renowned for his hard work off the ball and possesses a natural poacher’s instinct for knowing where the goal is.

He was the centre of attention in the summer transfer window as serious inquiries were reportedly made by Manchester United, Chelsea, AC Milan and the likes, but nothing concrete came from them.

A move for Belotti would definitely cost Bayern huge (it is said that any potential suitor may have to pay his buyout fee €100m to secure his services).

What the team will get in return is a goalscoring machine who is now fully recovered after the injuries which have reduced his output this season to just 9 goals in 25 appearances for IL Toro (The Bull) as Torino are known.

Unlike other players like Embolo & Dolberg, he represents what could be called a calculated risk and could wear the No. 9 shirt with distinction for the next decade if Bayern decides to bite the bullet and seek his signature.
