When trying to negotiate a transfer with Tottenham, if there is one thing you shouldn’t do, it’s anger Daniel Levy.
Already a tough negotiator at the best of times, the Spurs chairman can get awfully stubborn, and that’s exactly what is happening after Bayern Munich’s Uli Hoeneß publicly commented on the Harry Kane situation.
Sport Bild bring the latest on the situation on Tuesday, and reveal some more details from a previous meeting Daniel Levy had with the German club for his star striker, and it doesn’t sound good for the Bavarians.
Not only that, but he also stated that is doesn’t have ‘any impact’ on his stance, which is the complete opposite to what Hoeneß was hoping for.
They add that the decision makers at Bayern ‘were amazed’ and ’shocked’ at what Hoeneß had said publicly, knowing full well that Levy would not succumb to pressure.
Down his end, Levy ‘is said to be angry’ about the comments, which only added to any anger he already had after learning that Harry Kane had met Thomas Tuchel in London.
In fact, the Tottenham chairman reportedly told friends: “I’m not letting him go for £70m, £80m or £100m!”
Converting that to Euros, that would take the biggest figure to €116m, which seems to be above what the Germans are willing to pay.
And even then, at this point, even if they turned up with €120m, it seems like the damage is already done.
