Bidding Wars Intensify: Bayern Munich's Final Offer for Tottenham Star Harry Kane Rejected
Bayern Munich's €100m bid for Harry Kane was rejected by Tottenham Kane seeks clarity on his future before Spurs' season opener Watch Brentford vs Spurs live on Sky Sports this Sunday, from 1pm
Tottenham has declined Bayern Munich's latest and purportedly 'last' offer for Harry Kane. Sky in Germany reports that Kane was scheduled to be a topic of discussion at a meeting among Bayern Munich executives on Monday as they contemplate their pursuit of the Tottenham forward.
The German side awaited a response from Tottenham after presenting a 'fair and final offer' for the striker, exceeding €100m with add-ons included.
Bayern deemed their offer to be a compromise. During the meeting of club representatives in London, there remained a valuation gap of at least £20m, which Bayern's offer on Friday narrowed even further.
The Bundesliga team requires a prompt reply, or they may consider other options. The outcome of this situation is uncertain, and it is unclear what steps they will take next.
Kane, who netted four goals in Sunday's 5-1 friendly victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, desires a resolution for his future within this week, ahead of Tottenham's first Premier League match against Brentford on Sunday, August 13, which will be televised live on We.
The 30-year-old intends to travel to Barcelona for Tuesday's friendly against the Spanish giants, but this could change quickly if negotiations make progress. Kane is keen to resolve his future promptly due to personal reasons - his wife is expecting to give birth in a few weeks and is unable to travel.
Kane's contract expires next summer, posing a potential risk for Spurs. If they choose to retain him beyond the current transfer window, they may risk losing an exceptional goal scorer to a Premier League competitor without any financial compensation. Despite his remarkable performance of scoring 30 Premier League goals last season, Spurs' disappointing campaign resulted in an eighth-place finish, leaving them without European football and no trophy since 2008.
Having scored his first goal for Spurs in December 2011, he has since netted an impressive total of 280 goals in 435 appearances for the club. In the Premier League alone, he has found the back of the net 213 times in 320 games, and he is now just 48 goals away from surpassing Alan Shearer's historic record as the top scorer in Premier League history.
