Kane Fever: Bayern Munich's Determination to Secure Tottenham Striker Grows, Paving Way for a Blockbuster Summer Transfer
Bayern Munich grows confident about signing Harry Kane as his Tottenham contract nears expiration The rejected £60m bid hasn't deterred Bayern's pursuit Will Kane still be with Spurs when they play Brentford on August 13? Stay updated on summer transfers with Sky Sports
Bayern Munich holds a growing belief in their ability to acquire Harry Kane from Tottenham during the upcoming summer transfer window. The Bundesliga team is optimistic that Kane will join their ranks, contingent upon reaching an agreement on the transfer fee with Spurs. However, as of now, they have not been successful in accomplishing this.
According to Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany, Bayern's CEO Jan Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe are keen to arrange a meeting with Tottenham's chairman Daniel Levy in the upcoming week, preferably in person. They aim to show utmost respect to Spurs and aren't concerned about rumored interest from PSG.
Last week, it was reported by We News that Kane will not be renewing his contract with Tottenham this summer. While the Spurs forward is willing to engage in formal discussions with Bayern Munich, the German champions are convinced that he has expressed his desire to join them. However, there is still a discrepancy in the valuation between Bayern and Spurs.
There is a risk for Spurs if they choose to retain him beyond the window as they might lose an elite goalscorer for free next summer, potentially to a Premier League rival. However, if Tottenham fails to agree on a transfer fee with Bayern, Kane remains content with staying in London and will focus on playing football.
Postecoglou: Nothing has changed over Kane future
One potential motivating factor for Kane to consider extending his contract later in the season is if Tottenham Hotspur transform into a team with the ability to secure championship titles.Ange Postecoglou gave an update on Kane at a news conference in Singapore ahead of their latest friendly on Wednesday.
"I've said pretty consistently, I kind of deal with what's before me," he said.
Analysis: Bayern's focus totally on Kane after encouragement
According to our News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol: "If such a matter becomes relevant, it will be brought to my attention. However, at present, there is no new information before me compared to two days ago."Please note that the following information is sourced from the German side of the deal. Regarding Spurs and Kane, it should be emphasized that Kane is currently a player for Spurs with only one year remaining on his contract.
It is important to highlight that Tottenham has never indicated that Kane is available for transfer, quite the contrary. Likewise, Kane himself has never expressed a desire to depart from the club. With 12 months still remaining on his contract, he is content and willing to remain at Spurs until its expiration.
Bayern remains determined and fully focused on Kane. Without any form of encouragement, they would explore other options and consider alternative targets.
Interestingly, there were several other Premier League clubs interested in acquiring Kane, such as Man Utd with Erik Ten Hag as their coach. However, due to current financial constraints related to ownership structure, pursuing such a transfer is not feasible.
Spurs would prefer Kane to be sold overseas if they were to make a deal. Kane's stance is clear – if a agreement is reached, he is willing to listen to what Bayern Munich has to offer. If not, he is content to remain at Spurs until the conclusion of his contract in June.
Additionally, we should not dismiss the possibility of him signing a new contract with Spurs. Although there have been numerous reports suggesting otherwise, I believe that Spurs still desire, if feasible, for him to stay for the remainder of his professional career.
