Daniel Levy’s anger at Bayern Munich ‘seems to have been resolved’, leading to optimism a deal to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham can finally be agreed.
That’s according to BILD, who provide the latest update on the ongoing saga this summer and the growing optimism in Germany.
The newspaper covers CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and squad planner Marco Neppe flying to London to meet Daniel Levy to discuss a deal for Kane.
They are yet to have reached an agreement on a transfer, with the two parties still around €20m apart in their valuations.
However, there is now a growing belief and confidence a deal can be struck because ‘the parties appreciate each other’.
Bayern’s belief is that Levy’s previous anger at Uli Hoeneß’s ill-advised comments earlier this summer ‘seems to have been resolved’.
They still need to meet Tottenham’s demands for the deal to take place, but this morning’s meeting appears to have been another step forward in that process, with Levy’s anger now apparently gone.
Indeed, such is the confidence of a deal being done that BILD take something of an arrogant tone and already start speculating which Bayern games the striker may end up missing out on if things aren’t done quickly.
Under a subheading of ‘What is the maximum number of Bayern games Kane could miss?’ they argue that Kane may not be a Bayern player in time for the Supercup clash with RB Leipzig, Bayern’s Bundesliga opener or their first home game.
The tone is very much that he’s essentially a Bayern player in waiting, a rather dangerous sentiment given how easily Levy has been annoyed this summer but a further sign of the increasing belief the German champions will get Kane from Tottenham eventually.
