Highlights:

  • Bayern Munich have set Tottenham a deadline of midnight on Friday to accept a club-record offer in excess of €100 million ($110m) for striker Harry Kane, sources have told ESPN. Sources have told ESPN that Bayern’s latest bid comprises €100m guaranteed with up to approximately €20m in add-ons.
  • Sources have told ESPN that Kane has no interest in signing a new deal with Spurs this summer, leaving the club to make a decision as to whether they cash in now or risk losing their prized asset for nothing at the end of the season.
  • Face-to-face talks have taken place this week between Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen, and there is optimism that Kane is open to joining the Bundesliga champions if the two clubs can agree a fee.

    to be fair to Kane, Bayern is currently going through some Drama, yes they won their League, but that’s because the league is not very competitive and I am not sure many English players rank winning the bundesliga that highly, no offense to Bundesliga fans.

    So Bayern are kind of in a situation as United last season. Kind of a shit season with lots of drama, changes in leadership and the club has bit of a warning sign hanging on it, their handling of Nagelsmann was not well done and who knows how long Tuchel will last, based on his last two stints and Bayern’s m.o. it won’t be long.

    Add to that the fact that Kane is a free-agent next season he could have his pick of a team.

    IF the rumors are true he was already asking Man United upwards of 400K a week. NExt season he can get a nice little sign-on bonus added on top of it.

      Kane hasn’t won anything though, right? Regardless, I think most players would be very happy to win the Bundesliga. You get to experience a great celebration in Munich, through a bunch of beer on people, and of course in order to be able to win and celebrate you’ll play in an amazing league with a very unique and beautiful fan culture. Not to mention that Bayern will almost certainly go quite far in the Champions League.

      Whether he will go to Bayern is another question of course. Maybe he just prefers staying in England.
