Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane next summer has been a regular topic of conversation in recent months.
Recent reports have claimed that while Bayern have not held talks with the striker or his camp, they remain interested in signing him this season.
And now according to SportBild (h/t Sport Witness), Harry Kane’s agent has “already been assured” by Bayern Munich that an offer for the striker will be made next summer.
They claim that if he does not sign a new contract before 2023, the Spurs star will be a ‘very hot’ topic at the Allianz Arena. It goes on to explain that Sadio Mane has struggled to fill the void left by Robert Lewandowski’s departure, and Julian Nagelsmann’s side sees the England captain as the perfect man to replace him.
The 29-year-old’s current contract expires in 2024, and if he refuses to sign an extension with Tottenham, Bayern will make an offer.
In a conflicting report, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Kane is happy at Spurs and there has been a development regarding new contract talks with the club. Although, his future at the club could remain connected with Conte’s. The reports surrounding Kane’s future have been going on all summer and they won’t stop until and unless he pens down a new contract.
If Conte stays, I think Harry will stay. Now, the answer to the question may be different if Conte goes. However, I find it hard to believe that he would want to leave the EPL. I think his overriding ambition is to break Alan Shearer’s EPL goal scoring record. So then the question becomes, if he does not sign a new contract with us, where does he go in the EPL? Not Arsenal or Chelsea, certainly not Man City now. Liverpool would be highly unlikely given his age and the transfer cost involved. So that leaves Utd and as an outside bet, Newcastle. It could happen, but I wouldn’t rule out him signing a new contract with us and finishing his career as a one club legend.
Any new contract won’t be with us surely. He’s already spoken about his desire for trophies, is coming up to 30 years of age it will be a case of stick or twist for the club this summer. Besides, I reckon ‘Richie’ is his replacement anyway. Kane could well leave the club this summer.
Do Bayern know how this works?
This will be probably Harry’s last big contract. He will perhaps want to be paid as one of the top five players in the Premier League, one of the world’s best and England captain.
