Harry Kane (29) has a firm mind. He has no intention of re-signing with Tottenham and only wants Bayern Munich. The British ‘Times’ reported on the 21st (Korean time), “Kane will not renew his contract with Tottenham. He wants to go to Munich this summer if possible.”
Earlier, Munich made two transfer offers to Tottenham, but was rejected by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. According to Germany’s ‘Sky Sports’, Munich initially proposed a transfer fee of 60 million pounds (approximately 99.6 billion won) including incentives. Then, he raised the amount and proposed 80 million pounds (about 132.8 billion won), but Chairman Levy did not respond. It is said that Levy is willing to negotiate only when the amount is at least 100 million pounds (approximately 166 billion won).
Although it is not an easy situation, Munich is still in an atmosphere of confidence in signing Kane. Following the German ‘kicker’, honorary chairman Uli Hoenes said in an interview at a recent Munich training camp, “Chairman Levy is clever, because he does not say ‘amount’.” He went on to say, “Levi is a great professional and he respects that, but we haven’t been through this once or twice.”
He said, “Kane clearly communicated his desire to transfer to us, and we will recruit Kane. No team will refuse a transfer fee of 80 to 90 million euros (approximately 128.6 billion won). Tottenham must accept it.” ‘Kicker’ also pointed to the possibility of Kane’s transfer to Munich, saying, “Kane may join Munich in August.”
Kane is currently spending the pre-season schedule by joining the Tottenham squad ‘as if nothing happened’. Earlier, on the second day of the pre-season, he joined the Tottenham training ground, laughed happily and trained with his teammates, and then left for an overseas tour. Under the trust of coach Ange Postecoglu, he started in the first pre-season match against West Ham on the 18th. He worked hand-to-hand in the attack with transfer students James Madison and Manor Solomon. He did not have his unique sharpness, but he digested the first 45 minutes with a decent performance.
It is clearly different from the time of the ‘Man City transfer wave’ two years ago. After becoming the top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-2021 season, Kane pushed for a transfer to Manchester City that summer. However, when President Levy blocked the transfer, a conflict arose with the team. Kane also took an anti-myeongseong stance and did not participate in pre-season training. He returned at the beginning of the season, but fell into a swamp of sluggishness for a while because he couldn’t build his body properly.
The Times explained, “Kane, who turns 30 next week, will not be recklessly demanding a transfer to Tottenham. Two years ago, when trying to transfer to Manchester City, it ended in failure. Kane does not want to go through that again.”
Tottenham prepared an unprecedented weekly wage increase card to catch Kane. The British ‘Telegraph’ said on the 11th (Korean time), “If Kane remains at Tottenham, his weekly wage will rise. Tottenham is ready to pay Kane 400,000 pounds (about 670 million won) a week.” It is known that Kane’s current weekly wage is 200,000 pounds (approximately 330 million won), which is in the top 10 of the EPL. If Kane accepts the offer, he will receive the highest weekly wage in the EPL along with Kevin De Bruyne and Elling Holland (above Manchester City). But there seems to be a bigger picture on Kane’s mind. It is possible to promise next year when the contract is released as a free agent rather than a transfer this summer. Global media ‘ESPN’ predicted, “Kane will not push for a transfer this season. He is confident that he will go to Munich next summer.”
Coach Postecoglu is expected to keep Kane in the game and improve his physical condition. Tottenham, who finished their first pre-season game, will move on to Bangkok, Thailand, to face Leicester City on the 23rd. Then, on the 26th, they will face off against Lion City in Singapore and finish the tour. Then, on August 6th, we will play against Shakhtar Donetsk at Tottenham home, and then we will play against Barcelona at Estadi Olympic Luis Kompanis in Spain on August 9th. And on August 13th, Brentford and EPL opener. It remains to be seen whether Kane will play in Tottenham’s EPL opening match or whether he will wear a Munich uniform and play in the Bundesliga until the transfer window closes.
