Is Harry Kane coming or not. The transfer saga surrounding the best British striker continues. The change to FC Bayern Munich should still be in the financial framework – but not because of Tottenham. The 30-year-old’s family probably wants a bigger piece of the pie.
According to a media report, the lack of commitment from star striker Harry Kane for the record transfer to FC Bayern Munich could have financial reasons. According to information from the “Bild” newspaper, there is still a financial problem to be clarified, and it is also about consultant fees. The captain of the England national football team is advised by father Pat and brother Charlie, among others.
According to the “Bild” newspaper, the Bayern bosses had therefore again sought talks with both the Kane family and Tottenham. The Munich should continue to believe in the change. The Kanes are said to have put pressure on Spurs and internally announced a free transfer next summer should no agreement be reached. That would mean significantly more earnest money for the 30-year-old and his advisors, which free transfer professionals usually pocket.
Sky Sports in England reported on Thursday, without naming a source, that it was “looking increasingly likely” that Kane would want to stay at Tottenham Hotspur this season after all. The TV broadcaster Sky in Germany also wrote that Kane was hesitating despite an alleged verbal agreement with Munich.
The portal “The Athletic” had previously reported that the Munich team had agreed in principle with Tottenham on a Kane change this summer. The decision to move from the Thames to the Isar now lies with the 30-year-old striker. Accordingly, the London club accepted an offer from Munich of the equivalent of more than 100 million euros on Wednesday.
Kane, in turn, is said to have been pushing for clarity about his own future ahead of the Premier League start this weekend. His contract in England expires in the summer of 2024. He is regarded as Bayern’s dream striker this transfer summer.
