Harry Kane‘s impending transfer to Bayern Munich has hit a last-minute twist as Tottenham Hotspur’s chairman, Daniel Levy, reportedly attempted to modify the terms of the £84.5 million transfer fee, News About Nigeria reports.
Despite conflicting reports suggesting Kane was told not to travel to Germany, it was learned that he will undeniably be allowed to make the trip.
Ongoing discussions between the two clubs are focused on finding a resolution, indicating that Tottenham still anticipates the deal going through.
The 30-year-old striker had previously agreed to the move, receiving Tottenham’s approval on Thursday, but news of a fresh stumbling block emerged.
Amidst this recent development, Spurs seem committed to facilitating the transfer. Kane is said to have verbally agreed to a four-year contract with Bayern Munich and his desire to leave Tottenham is clear as he declined a lucrative £400,000-a-week contract extension recently.
The transfer saga involving Kane has dominated the summer transfer window, with the forward having one year left on his current deal at Tottenham and showing no intention of renewing.
Meanwhile, Tottenham is keen on avoiding a scenario where Kane leaves for free next summer, which has led to negotiations with Bayern Munich.
The German club had multiple bids rejected before finally having a bid accepted, a development that came just days before the start of the new Premier League season.
It is understood that Kane aimed for a resolution to his future before the new season kicks off.
Recall that Kane had earlier wanted to stay back in England and fight for the English Premier League highest goal scorer of all time.
However, he has been encouraged to take up a new challenge at Bayern Munich that could see him win big titles that have been lacking in his over 11-year career at Spurs.
