Bayern Munich ramp up Harry Kane pursuit as executives fly in for £86m Daniel Levy talks

Tottenham chairman has so far rejected German club's approaches but the risk of the striker leaving on a free transfer next summer looms

Bayern Munich are ready to renew their assault to try to sign Harry Kane with two of the club’s top executives flying to London for a new round of talks with Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy.

Tottenham have returned from their pre-season tour to London, where they will be met by Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and the technical director Marco Neppe.

The pair have not travelled on Bayern’s pre-season tour of Asia so that they can try to negotiate a deal for Kane with Levy, who has so far rejected the German club’s approaches.

Kane was part of Tottenham’s pre-season tour, but is believed to be open to a move to Bayern should they manage to clinch an agreement with Levy.

The situation is complicated by the fact that sources claim Levy had been close to agreeing a deal to sell Kane to Paris St-Germain, but the striker does not want to move to France this summer.

PSG remain willing to outbid any other club for Kane, but it would take a major U-turn from the England captain to consider an offer - effectively leaving Levy with the choice of negotiating a deal with Bayern or risk his star man leaving on a free transfer when his contract expires next summer.

Bayern are thought to be willing to pay up to £86 million to sign Kane this summer, but are also confident they could land the player, who celebrates his 30th birthday on Friday, in January when he can sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club ahead of a move next summer.

Dreesen is reported to have met Levy in London two weeks ago and it is seen as significant in Germany that there is an open channel of communication between them with regard to Kane, despite Tottenham’s insistence that they do not want to sell him.

There have even been suggestions that Bayern would agree to a buy-back option for Tottenham in a bid to land Kane this summer, which could help to satisfy all parties.

If we somehow manage to get around £100m (including add-ons) from a foreign team, I think we’ve done very well tbh.

Losing him next year for free and going to a Utd/City/Chelsea would have been torture.

 

[TommyGee]

Just call it £90M, throw in some bonuses and be done with it please

Found this but interesting, would explain why Levy had been meeting with Nasser Al-Khelaifi over the last year.

Also confirms that we’re definitely open to selling at the right price, but I believe at this stage we all knew that already.

Honestly if we get a suitable bid from PSG and he refuses to go he can't complain if we keep him. Bayern either match or he stays.

What we could really do with is PSG getting 300m for Mbappe, offering something absolutely insane for Kane like 130m+ and a paycheck that is so big he can't turn it down.

Won't happen but a man can dream.

 

[Tucker]

If we sell him for £86 million I’ll be pissed off. That’s chump change these days.

Seriously lol

Would get the most dollar squeeze we could possibly dream of. He goes to a foreign league, and Bayern get screwed

It could happen though, similar happened when Barca lost Neymar and just threw massive money down for Dembele and Coutinho.

Yeh seems low to me, although I’m sure there would be add ons too. They have a decent LCB they could throw into the deal?

I think there has literally been 1 player 30 or older who has gone for more - ever.

Ronaldo I'm guessing?

Still think £100m should be the bare minimum

Probably eden hazard

How many were better than Kane?

Harry is still 29 though (until tomorrow)

Kimpembe. Has one year left on his contract there. But VERY injury prone sadly.

It's only good if we invest that money in the right way. It's not good if levy banks it and spends it on the hotel development.

He can sign a pre-contract with a foreign team in 6 months time.

We can't be too picky with the fee.

£86m + £10-15m in add-ons is still not terrible.

Hence the Germans meeting tomorrow - and the deal will be after he turns 30...

Or we waste it on s### players like we have a bit of history of doing.
