FC Bayern is apparently targeting England star Harry Kane again when looking for a new centre-forward. And according to a media report, the Munich team received encouraging signals from the Tottenham striker. The transfer fee could be well below 100 million euros.
The search for a successor to Robert Lewandowski at FC Bayern is ongoing. The Munich team don’t want to go into a season without a real goalscorer again. The memory of the past season is too present, which only ended without a title due to BVB’s surprising stumble against FSV Mainz 05. From the super solution to the cheap placeholder, everything is discussed on the transfer market. Name-dropping has long since gotten out of control. The list of candidates ranges from Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani to Niclas Füllkrug. Harry Kane, the England captain and Tottenham Hotspur goalscorer, keeps popping up. In 435 games for the club he scored 280 goals and prepared 64 goals.
But probably just as often as it was conceivable that the 29-year-old actually comes to Munich, so quickly the rumor disappeared again. Now the hotplates in the rumor mill are glowing red again, which means: the transfer pendulum in the Kane case is swinging to Munich. As Sky reported on Monday evening, the club is said to have returned its focus to the top striker and he is said to have given positive signals after the record champions had explored the chances of a change with the consultants. The “Bild” also writes that Bayern are initially only concentrating on Kane when looking for a striker. At the beginning of May, according to “Sport Bild”, it was said that interest was “cooling down more and more”. Another month later, English media moderated the change again.
Osimhen is being courted by PSG
According to Sky, Kane had conveyed to Bayern that a move to Munich was his goal if he left his current employer, for whom he has been playing and meeting since 2013 after several loans in his youth, this summer for a commitment abroad . As Sky further reports, the bosses of FC Bayern, who are no longer called Hasan Salihamidžić and Oliver Kahn, but Jan-Christian Dreeßen and as powerful assistants Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß, would assume that Kane would be less than 100 million euros would be available. This replacement sound barrier is no longer taboo in Munich, so as not to be finally left behind on the international transfer market.
SSC Napoli’s Victor Osimhen doesn’t seem like a hot candidate anymore because of the “hot” rumors surrounding Kane. According to Sky, this was also communicated to the Nigerian’s management. In any case, he is said to have been extremely courted by Paris St. Germain. According to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper, the French are said to be ready to meet Napoli’s transfer fee of 180 million euros. The Frankfurt Randal Kolo Muani also seems to be no longer a serious issue for the Munich team in view of the high transfer fee demanded by Eintracht, here too 100 million euros are being called for.
What about Real’s interest?
So now full focus on Kane. In the past few weeks, Real Madrid have also been said to be very interested in the 29-year-old. The Royal had to cope with the departure of the French world footballer Karim Benzema, who follows the lure of money and moves to Saudi Arabia. Real has already signed a new nine in former Bundesliga striker Joselu, but the 33-year-old cannot be considered a great solution. Therefore, it seems questionable whether Madrid will not be active again on the transfer market. Even if, according to media reports from Spain, this is not planned.
Bayern have signed two players in defensive midfield, Raphael Guerreiro from Borussia Dortmund and Konrad Laimer from RB Leipzig. On Sunday, fresh rumors caused a stir that the Munich team saw their chance with Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman faces top-class competition with DFB star Ilkay Gündogan. However, the priority at FC Bayern is still the commitment of a top center forward, things are apparently moving.
