Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane remains a target for German club Bayern Munich and they are now increasingly confident of signing him.
According to journalist Tom Allnutt, the Spurs hierarchy are now open to letting the 29-year-old striker leave the club.
Speaking to the Tottenham Way podcast, Allnutt revealed that Bayern Munich are confident of getting the deal done. They believe that Kane would want to join a club with European football and therefore he would find them an attractive proposition this summer.
Apparently, the German outfit have a huge amount of confidence that Tottenham will agree to a deal eventually.
Allnutt also adds that everyone at the London club is now open to the idea of letting the player leave.
“Bayern were briefing yesterday that they want to have talks with Spurs, that suggested that there wasn’t a meeting organised, but that’s what they were briefing. We know that Kane is not going to sign a new contract this summer, and he’s open to the Bayern proposal. At this stage, everyone is open to the idea of Harry Kane leaving, and that sounds like a wishy-washy thing, but in comparison to previous summers that is a big step,” Allnutt said.
“It’s worth saying that from the Bayern side there is a huge amount of confidence here, they see it as they’re Bayern Munich and Kane is at Tottenham, he’s at a team that isn’t even in Europe next season, why wouldn’t they get him? It is worth saying that they believe a deal will be done.”
Kane is in the final year of his contract and he needs to move on if he wants to compete for major trophies. Tottenham are going through a period of transition and they are unlikely to win the league title next season.
Bayern Munich on the other hand are capable of winning the league title and the Champions League.
Tottenham are under pressure to sell the player because of his contract situation. They will not want to lose him on a free transfer next summer.
It makes sense for them to cash in on him now and invest in talented young players who will help them get back into the top four next season.
