FC Bayern want him and he probably wants him too: Munich are focusing their search for a striker on Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. There is now said to be a first official offer worth millions. However, according to a media report, Spurs are refusing to change the captain of the England national team.
Everything on Kane: FC Bayern Munich is serious about its search for a striker and has now allegedly set its sights firmly on England’s captain. According to media reports, the German record champions want to do everything they can to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. As “The Athletic” writes, Bayern are said to have submitted an initial offer of 70 million euros plus bonus payments.
According to a report by the US broadcaster ESPN, Kane, who is under contract with Tottenham until the summer of 2024, has now been informed by his club that he will not be available for a transfer this summer. ESPN also writes that Spurs have not received an official offer from the German champions. The TV broadcaster Sky had previously reported that Tottenham had initially rejected an offer from Bayern that was said to have been less than 70 million euros plus extra payments.
In any case, the captain of the English national team should not be averse to a change. Which also means: Victor Osimhen (24) from SSC Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani (24) are no longer hot candidates for Bayern.
Instead, Bayern want to focus fully on Kane in their storm distress. On Monday, the transfer committee met again on Säbener Straße, where the club leaders are said to have committed themselves to Kane with the blessing of coach Thomas Tuchel. “We are working hard to ensure that next season we have a team that plays better football than last,” said Uli Hoeneß, a member of the supervisory board who is also part of the task force, on Monday evening. Whether the Spurs have finally drawn a line under the transfer? There is no official information on this yet.
One of England’s best strikers of all time
In theory, there is some evidence that Kane could be a central building block of Bayern’s team of the future. The attacker has been delivering consistently in the strongest league in the world for years. In the last season alone he scored 30 goals in 38 league games, only Erling Haaland (36 goals) from champions Manchester City was better. However, Kane plays for Tottenham and thus in a much weaker team.
With a total of 213 goals, he is only behind Alan Shearer (260) in the all-time list of the top Premier League goalscorers. He also scores reliably in the national team. And it is precisely this reliability that makes him interesting for Bayern, among other things. Precisely because Kane would probably guarantee more than 20 Bundesliga goals per season right away.
In addition, it would be at least comparatively affordable. Osimhen and Kolo Muani would both cost over €100m. Kane, on the other hand, turns 30 at the end of July and should therefore probably be available for less money. In addition, his contract in London only runs for one year. In addition, the Spurs missed the lucrative European competitions, which could drive Kane’s desire to change.
Now it’s up to Kane himself
Should Bayern also sell Lucas Hernández to Paris Saint-Germain for more than 50 million euros, there would be additional financial leeway for the desired transfer. On Tuesday, several media reported unanimously that Munich and PSG were getting closer to an agreement.
Should the possible change burst, it will probably not be up to Kane himself. According to the TV broadcaster Sky, the attacker had conveyed to the people of Munich that a change to the German champions was his goal – should he leave the Spurs this summer for a commitment abroad.
In Munich, Kane could win the titles he has been missing in his career so far. On the other hand, Kane has always been reluctant to say goodbye to his training club. Since 2004 he has played for Tottenham with short breaks. Manchester United are also said to be interested in him. But only Kane himself knows if he’s ready to leave the club of his heart. And maybe even his homeland.
