For the past few months, reports from Germany have regularly stated that Bayern Munich want Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane next summer.
The Bundesliga side’s officials have been quizzed on these reports and their CEO, Oliver Kahn, was the latest one to be asked about the possibility of the club signing the striker.
“Of course, he’s a very good player, but there are many other very good players,” Kahn told Sky Deutschland.
“I’ve read that everywhere too. Oliver Kahn and Harry Kane. Hasan [Salihamidzic] and Harry Kane. We deal with many, many players and it’s not okay to talk about players who are signed to other clubs either. Again: we have a very good squad that is doing an excellent job at the moment.”
Sky transfer expert Florian Plettenberg says there was no denial from Kahn and this is do with the fact that the Bavarian club are trying to work on signing the 29-year-old… but in the background. This is the strategy they want to employ to land the England international.
It’s ‘no longer a secret’ Antonio Conte’s man is the target for the German champions. The frontman has a ‘high price tag’ as he is valued around €80-100m by Spurs supremo Daniel Levy.
The journalist claims the Bavarian club are “working on it”, even though price range makes it “very difficult” for them.
Kane’s deal runs until 2024 and the north London club want to tie him down to a new contract. This is something he wants to avoid as Plettenberg claims the player is in the “mood for a change”. At the same time, he is in a ‘dilemma’ over his future.
Having scored 195 league goals, Kane wants to get ahead of Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer to become the all-time Premier League top scorer. This would only be possible if he signs a new deal at Spurs.
On the other hand, a move to a foreign club will allow the Tottenham star to win titles and this is ‘tempting’ for him. Bayern are in a position to help the player win silverware.
Kane is currently focusing on the World Cup with England and rumours of a Spurs exit could become frequent in 2023 if the north London club fail to tie down his long-term future.
