Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic admits the club should have targeted a center forward in the summer.

The German champions lost Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona during the last summer transfer window.

Instead of securing a like for like replacement, they went for Liverpool winger Sadio Mane instead.

"With Sadio Mane we have signed a new player who can also play as the No.9," Salihamidzic told reporters via Sport 1.

"In retrospect, of course, you can be the clever one and say: That's not the case.

“Serge, King, Leroy, Sadio, Tel, Choupo, Thomas, Jamal – they are all top players."
