Harry Kane Transfer: Bayern Munich Up Their Game with a Spectacular Improved Offer, Spurs Nearing Agreement

Tottenham and Bayern are optimistic about finalizing a deal for Harry Kane's transfer, as the Bundesliga team is planning to enhance their offer of €95m (£81.7m). According to Sky in Germany, although the overall package remains unchanged, Bayern intends to improve upon the current amount, which would already surpass the club's record for the highest transfer fee.

Bayern intends to propose a five-year contract to Kane, extending until he reaches his 35th birthday. Additionally, he would assume the position of the highest-paid player in the club.

No further meetings with Spurs have been arranged following a recent gathering between representatives of both clubs in London. However, all parties are now optimistic about reaching an agreement.

Spurs and Bayern officials engaged in discussions over lunch in the capital on Monday, with the talks extending throughout the afternoon until the visiting representatives returned to Germany in the evening. It is believed that Spurs are seeking a minimum of £100m for their all-time leading goal scorer, Kane, who is reportedly willing to have formal conversations with Bayern if an agreement is reached.

Tottenham will also demand a buy-back clause if Kane makes a comeback to the Premier League.

To secure Kane's signing, Bayern Munich would probably need to surpass their current transfer record of €80m (£68.5m), which they paid to Atletico Madrid for Lucas Hernandez in 2019.

Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe arrived at Munich airport on Monday morning to fly to England and returned in the evening.

Bayern Munich are convinced Spurs' record scorer wants to join them

Content must be written in English:

The clubs were scheduled to meet last week, but the session was rescheduled. However, dialogue between the two sides regarding the future of the England captain is ongoing.

Bayern Munich, the German champions, firmly believe that Kane, Tottenham's top scorer, is eager to join their ranks. Kane has made it clear that he will not be signing a new contract with Tottenham this summer and would rather join Bayern than any other interested clubs.

Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning French champions, believe they have a chance at acquiring Kane should Tottenham choose to part ways with him. However, they are not willing to engage in a competitive bidding war.

There is a considerable risk for Spurs in retaining him beyond the transfer window, as they could risk losing a top-tier goalscorer to a domestic rival without receiving any transfer fee in return. Therefore, they have started conversations with foreign clubs who have expressed interest in the player.

If Tottenham fail to agree on a transfer fee with Bayern, what will happen? In such a case, Kane will continue playing for Tottenham and focus on his football.

If this situation arises, what could potentially motivate Kane to extend his contract later in the season? The direct answer is that it would necessitate Spurs transforming into a team capable of winning trophies. This poses a risk for Levy. Otherwise, he should anticipate that the England captain will have numerous options among clubs both in his home country and abroad.

Analysis: Stick or twist - Levy faces a huge gamble

We News' Paul Gilmour @skysportspaulg:

Kane's refusal to sign a new contract this summer further heightens the possibility of the England captain moving in the upcoming weeks. With Thomas Tuchel's strong desire for this transfer and Bayern's active efforts to negotiate a favorable financial arrangement with Spurs, the momentum is shifting towards the likelihood of his departure.

With that being said, it has been expressed that Kane is currently content focusing on his football endeavors at Tottenham. Additionally, the possibility of renewing his contract at a later point in the season is still being considered.

In the upcoming weeks, Daniel Levy will be faced with one of the most challenging decisions of his professional career. Will he have faith in the potential for a contract extension in the future? Does he believe that Ange Postecoglou and his team have the capability to play an attacking style of football and exhibit the qualities of potential champions at this early stage of the project?

Analysis: Kane a good fit for Bayern - and Tuchel wants him

If the response is negative to these fundamental inquiries, the Premier League is apt to bid farewell to one of its most prolific goal scorers, while Tottenham could utilize the funds to establish equilibrium within their team.

European football expert Kevin Hatchard believes that Harry Kane would be an excellent addition to Bayern Munich. The German club views it as a significant achievement to recruit the captain of England and acknowledges the positive impact it would have, not only for Bayern but also for the Bundesliga as a whole.

They view him as someone capable of elevating their offensive prowess to new heights. Despite having a multitude of talented players, Bayern recognizes the need for a positive narrative, especially after narrowly clinching their Bundesliga title and suffering a devastating defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League. Thomas Tuchel is also advocating for his signing, further highlighting his influence at Bayern, which surpasses that of most coaches in recent years. It is worth noting that Bayern's interest in him has been long-standing and not a sudden occurrence. With former CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic no longer in charge, Tuchel's esteemed status within the club is further reinforced.

As rumors swirl around the upcoming transfer window, one player who could potentially make a significant move is Harry Kane. Many view him as the ideal successor to Robert Lewandowski in the long run. This comparison to Lewandowski is particularly favorable for Kane, as the Polish forward consistently delivered remarkable goal-scoring performances in the Bundesliga and played a crucial role in his team's successes in the Champions League year after year after year.
