In a surprising move during the summer transfer window, Harry Kane left Tottenham for Bayern Munich in a deal potentially worth £100 million. The England striker revealed that while there were talks with several clubs, Bayern felt like the right choice.
Kane spoke about his decision, saying, “Obviously over the summer, I know there were some talks between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern were a team I was really interested and excited by.”
The 30-year-old forward was reportedly a target for Manchester United as well, but once Bayern entered the picture, there were few discussions with other clubs. Kane expressed his happiness with the choice, emphasizing his focus on Bayern and the task at hand.
Despite United’s recent struggles, Kane warned against underestimating them, acknowledging the potential danger of a team seeking a big response.
Regarding his England teammate Harry Maguire, who has faced criticism lately, Kane defended him, calling Maguire one of the best defenders in England’s history. He suggested that social media scrutiny has unfairly scapegoated Maguire.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy revealed a buy-back clause in Kane’s Bayern Munich deal, which was made to avoid the possibility of Kane running down his contract.
Since joining Bayern, Kane has made a strong start, scoring four Bundesliga goals and preparing for his Champions League debut with the club. He expressed his satisfaction with his performance but believes there is room for improvement.
Despite his departure from Tottenham, Kane remains invested in their performance and expressed his joy in seeing them do well under new coach Ange Postecoglou.
Bayern head coach Thomas Tuchel praised Kane’s qualities and impact on the team, emphasizing the significance of taking England’s captain out of the Premier League. Tuchel believes Kane will not only score goals but also make the players around him shine.
Kane’s move to Bayern Munich has marked a significant transfer in European football, and his performances with the German giants will be closely watched throughout the season.
