Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to sell their star striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, News About Nigeria gathered.
The deal worth £84.5 million with additional add-ons, awaits Kane’s decision on whether to accept Bayern’s five-year contract offer. Kane’s current Tottenham deal is in its final year and he previously declined a lucrative extension at £400,000-a-week.
The England captain’s future has been a topic of intense speculation, with Manchester City previously expressing interest. Kane’s relationship with new manager Ange Postecoglou has seemed positive, and his performance in a recent pre-season friendly showcased his scoring prowess.
Postecoglou mentioned an “ongoing dialogue” with Kane about his future. The striker seeks clarity before Tottenham’s Premier League opener against Brentford.
The club is keen on avoiding a situation where Kane leaves for free next summer, especially to a domestic rival.
Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Kane began earlier, with several rejected offers before the fourth bid was accepted by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
Despite Manchester City’s willingness to pay £127 million for Kane in 2021, Levy stood firm and kept the player at the club. Kane’s desire for major trophies has been a talking point, given his exceptional record and 19-year association with Tottenham.
This transfer presents him with an opportunity to compete in the Champions League, a competition where Bayern Munich is often considered a contender.
Reports from Germany also suggest that Bayern is already preparing contracts, indicating the club’s strong intent to secure Kane’s services.
The move would not only bolster Bayern’s attacking options but also potentially provide Kane with a platform to achieve the trophy success he has been seeking.
