Barring another last-minute change of course, Harry Kane should indeed reach Bavaria and Munich in the next few hours. The Tottenham striker, after much hesitation, would have agreed to Bayern Munich for a four-season contract according to The Athletic. The end of a very uncertain summer saga since the Three Lions international seemed to have said yes at first to the German club on Friday.
But we learned in the evening via the British media that the Tottenham star was no longer at all sure of his choice. At the heart of the hesitation, the amount of the signing bonus. Financially, Kane had, in fact, more interest in waiting another season and leaving London free to receive a large bonus in another club.
The amount of the transaction between Tottenham and Bayern Munich would be more than 100 million euros. Harry Kane would become the most expensive recruit in Bundesliga history, ahead of the 80 million euros paid by Bayern in the summer of 2019 to bring in French world champion Lucas Hernandez.
Having passed very close to a year 2023 without a trophy (11th consecutive league title snatched in the 89th minute of the last day), Bayern realized that it was necessary to find a replacement for Lewandowski, while the Cameroonian Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was unavailable for a long time at the end of last season.
At 30, Kane could have his first experience abroad, at Bayern Munich, a club which has won the Champions League six times (1974, 1975, 1976, 2001, 2013, 2020).
Top scorer for the Three Lions since March 2023 (58 goals, five more than Wayne Rooney), “Prince Harry” hopes to open his record, he who has collected individual distinctions (top scorer in the Premier League in 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2020/21, top scorer of the World Cup-2018) without ever winning any trophy.
