Breaking News: Shocking Details Emerge as Bayern Munich Meets Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy to Discuss Harry Kane's Potential Exit
Tottenham chairman meets Bayern Munich to discuss potential sale of England captain Harry Kane No progress made in the meeting, but dialogue remains open Spurs keen to secure Kane's future with a new deal to prevent him from joining Premier League rivals Kane to join Spurs squad heading to Australia
Daniel Levy had a meeting with Jan-Christian Dreesen, the chief executive of Bayern Munich, on Thursday to discuss the potential transfer of Harry Kane. We have learned that no significant progress was achieved during the meeting, although the conversation between the two parties is still ongoing. It is worth noting that this is not the initial encounter or communication between Levy and Bayern.
Tottenham will make ongoing efforts to convince Kane to agree to a profitable contract extension, but they are concerned that he may choose to join a Premier League competitor if he allows his current contract to expire. Kane has not dismissed any possibilities at this point and will join the Tottenham team for their pre-season tour to Australia on Friday.
Earlier this week, it was reported by We News that discussions have taken place between Tottenham and Bayern regarding the potential acquisition of Kane. Furthermore, Kane had a meeting with the new Spurs manager, Ange Postecoglou, on Wednesday. Postecoglou has expressed his intention to construct a team that plays exhilarating, offensive football and desires Kane's involvement in this endeavor.
If he begins the season in England, it will provide the club with an opportunity to demonstrate to him and other experienced players that a more optimistic perspective is possible compared to the past few years.
Bayern is confident that Kane desires to join their team, making it his most probable destination if he leaves in the upcoming weeks. However, Tottenham has explicitly stated that they have no intention of selling their all-time top scorer and will definitely not consider Bayern's offer of £70m.
The Tottenham captain has netted a total of 213 goals for Spurs, making him the second leading scorer in the history of the Premier League, trailing only Alan Shearer. With just 48 more goals, Kane will surpass Shearer's record. Despite Spurs finishing in eighth place, Kane's remarkable performance saw him secure 30 league goals in the previous season.
Postecoglou: No guarantees over Kane future
Postecoglou stated during his initial Tottenham news conference on Monday that he had not been given any assurances regarding the future of his star player. "No," he replied when asked if he had received any assurances about Kane's future. "And I wouldn't anticipate any assurances, as these matters are never black and white or certain.""I am currently focusing my attention on what I am certain about at this moment, which is Harry being a member of our squad. He eagerly anticipates returning to training, rejoining the team, and collaborating with us to achieve our goals. Instead of dwelling on the potential consequences, I recognize the importance of concentrating on team building, as that is the key to our success."
Building a team that adheres to a specific style of football, I won't pass up this chance to establish the aspects that I believe will hold great significance in the future. Focusing on long-term objectives means looking beyond individual players and instead prioritizing the overall philosophy of the team and the crucial individuals involved in it.
"Prior to my upcoming meeting with Kane on Wednesday," said Postecoglou, "I believe it is not my responsibility to treat individuals differently based on their circumstances. I firmly believe in treating everyone equally.
Harry has already established his place in the history of this club, and my aim is to engage him here. Our discussion will revolve around strategies to elevate the success of this club, and that aligns with his desires too."

I am skeptical that it will have the impact people anticipate. My intention is to acquaint myself with Harry, convey my perspective, comprehend his vision, and strive for success.
