According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is close to sealing an “historic deal” to join Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.
Bayern officials are set to hold talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to discuss the potential transfer.
Fabrizio Romano earlier reported that the talks are scheduled for early next week with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to discuss the potential transfer.
He claimed that while Bayern are aware of Levy’s reputation as a tough negotiator, they remain confident that they can secure the signing of the Englishman. He added that PSG are also keeping an eye on the situation in case the deal with Bayern collapses.
In his CaughtOffside Substack, he wrote:
“Bayern officials are going to have direct contact, a direct meeting with Daniel Levy to discuss about Harry Kane. It’s an important moment, an important day to discuss this deal, so let’s see how the conversation will go. Bayern know that sometimes it takes time to negotiate with Daniel Levy, it’s not easy at all. Bayern want to go over the €80m plus add-ons offered two weeks ago, and they will insist again for Harry Kane. PSG are keeping a close eye on the situation in case the deal collapses with Bayern – but let me repeat, Bayern are the favourites.”
“Bayern are confident but again, it depends on Tottenham not on Bayern. Talks will continue early next week. I can’t predict the future so don’t know if they will agree fee during that meeting, but for sure to meet all together it’s crucial to advance in the negotiations. Bayern are sure that the player is open to joining them, that’s why this depends on Spurs!”
Daily Mail now claims that should the talks between Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, technical director Marco Neppe and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy go well on Monday, a historic move could be completed.
The report by Simon Jones and Rob Draper reads:
“Harry Kane is close to an historic deal to join Bayern Munich should the executive summit between Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, technical director Marco Neppe and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy go well on Monday.
Bayern are confident an agreement can be reached even though the clubs are some way apart on their respective valuations of the 30-year-old England and Spurs record goal-scorer.”
Bayern have already had two bids rejected for him but are hopeful that the third bid should seal the deal.
They have used other tactics to build pressure including poaching the player to convince him to move as well as comments made in public by their top executives.
The club’s president has publicly expressed their interest in signing Kane, and they view him as a highly attractive player who could strengthen their squad significantly.
He told Kicker (via The Times):
“Here in the Bundesliga we don’t have many international stars any more.”
“Bayern always try to bring in stars. Harry Kane is a highly attractive player, the England captain and a top scorer. He would do us and the Bundesliga good.”
Tottenham has come to terms with selling Kane and is keen to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer next year. The talks between Bayern officials and Levy are expected to take place on Monday, and it could be a crucial moment in finalizing the deal.
It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can strike a deal in their upcoming talks. Regardless, it seems like we could be edging towards the end of the Kane saga.
