My guess is Daniel and ENIC are desperate to sell Kane this window, as losing out on 100 mill is simply not how they operate. Daniel obviously has to pretend otherwise though.
Harry knows he can pick any team next year and get a massive sign on fee, so he has very little to gain by angling for a move now. Sure, he miss out on a german title, but with a young family maybe a year out of European competitions would be allright.

Respectfully disagree. I think Kane wants to be settled for the new season and so isn't pushing for the move as he's happy to revisit options/offers to leave on a free next summer. If by some miracle we have an amazing season, one of the options will be a new record spurs contract that will take him towards breaking the PL goal record.
This isn't snake like behaviour. If Spurs have named a price, the deadline doesn't put pressure on Spurs, it's the opposite - it puts pressure on Bayern to pay the fuck up if they want the deal.
Surely if mass disruption was the idea, the media briefing would make it clear he won’t renew

As I see it the dynamics would be exactly the same as on deadline day.
Bayern are under as much pressure as Levy to close a deal.
Either he gets his move without a messy ending.
Or worst case Bayern don't come up with the money - in which case they were never going to - meanwhile he puts pressure on Levy to invest in the team.
Then he either has a better final season, or keep his options open should we improve enough to consider staying another year or two.
He still holds all the cards.
I mean, it could definitely be that. But it could also be that he simply wants a decision to be made before the season starts.

If there is truth to that line ,there is zero reason for us to be even considering selling Harry Kane.
This is what I think too. I think Levy has probably been holding out on the long shot that Kane signs a new contract, but the idea of Kane leaving on a free likely terrifies him.
We have people in other threads complaining about Levy demanding unrealistic transfer fees for deadwood, but by the same token, they imagine Levy will be fine with writing off the best part of a hundred mill for Kane. It just doesn't add up.

I think the fact he has said he would negotiate a contract even if it's bollocks is a huge blow to Bayern.
They would have wanted him to say sell me or I leave for free, surely?

If you turn up for a meeting with no socks on like their old mate did, then you're just leaving yourself open to the Big Master of Negotiation going after your pants too. It's a classic slip up from them.

I’ve seen a second tweet from Dan KP saying he’s open to a new contract with us too now, so maybe I am wrong. But…
If he wants to make it look like he isn’t forcing a move, while actually forcing the move, this is how to do it. (Presuming he doesn’t sign a new deal.) This puts a countdown on when we can sell him, at least an earlier countdown than before.
Yes it could put pressure on Bayern too, but if they won’t shift, the pressure falls firmly on the club.
Like I said that second tweet from Dan KP suggests he’s happy to stay if we are progressing, so my initial knee jerk reaction could be wrong.

Kane on a free - I'd be surprised if he doesn't have a lot of options.
Where is this useful snippet matey. Can’t find it amongst the 30 pages of absolute tripe on this thread

Isn't he helping to achieve what has been repeated in this thread every day for the past week which is that this doesn't drag on?
He probably hates being in limbo as much as the fans do and like everyone just wants clarity in the situation.

Nah, he’s doing the right thing here keeping his mouth shut. If Bayern don’t stump up the cash then he can just carry on as usual and if they do then he can release a statement. Doesn’t make any sense coming out with anything now.
This PR briefing from Kane’s camp is a masterclass.
Pretty much says either strengthen the team significantly so we can push on or sell me before the 13th. Do neither and I leave on a free.
Puts all of the pressure on Levy.

They have reportedly offered about €80m, which is only about £73m. That's including add-ons that may or may not be paid out, not a basic fee of €80m + add-ons.
Even if Bayern increase their bid by 25%, to the €100m that they are reportedly about to offer, that's only £85m, which is still £15-35m (not £5m) short of the valuation that most of us believe Levy is setting. Then there's the matter of basic fee vs. add-ons and up-front payment vs. instalments. Levy will want the large majority of the fee to be paid up-front and for add-ons to only equate to a small proportion of the basic fee (rather than the 25-40% being reported in the media).
If Richarlison and Maddison are considered within the club to be the replacements for Kane's goals and creativity (as appears to be the case), they are already being prepared for next season.
