The English striker is leaving Spurs this summer
Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis has told Daniel Levy that he must sell Harry Kane this summer if the player refuses to sign a new contract. This puts Bayern Munich in a much stronger negoitating position than a few days ago, given that the club seem to be Kane’s first choice destination and the only team outside the EPL with a serious chance of signing him this summer.
Spurs will likely make more last-ditch efforts to sign Kane onto a new deal, however, it might be too late for them. This will improve Bayern’s bargaining position rather significantly, as it takes the prospect of Kane spending an extra year in England out of the picture. As of right now, PSG are the only other side bidding for Harry Kane, but the player has already ruled out a move to France.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are simply watching proceedings from the sidelines, as they feel that Kane would not be sold to a Premier League club unless there was an “astronomical” fee involved.
Meanwhile, according to TZ’s Manuel Bonke, Bayern are preparing a new and improved bid for the English striker, which might see them reach as high as the internal limit of €100m set for the transfer. The club officials remain optimistic that a deal can be reached by early August, when the team return from the Asia Tour.
Harry Kane has been with Tottenham since 2004. The English striker is the record goalscorer in Spurs’ history with 280 goals, and is a 3-time Premier League goalscorer, but does not have a single trophy with the team from North London.
