Harry Kane

[Hercules]

I'm with Trix,50/50, the Mane money they received could be the deciding factor.

I am not going to call it, as I said I think last week. You cannot blame Daniel Levy here. This is not them using their muscles in the Bundesliga. They love to use German media to get their way. I cannot disclose too much

I just don’t understand how that can be the case when they already knew that sale was going through

Their accountants are very slow . It was only finalised this week

So Bayern are giving us until midnight to accept their offer?

That's how these reports are reading to me, no mention of an improved offer...

Think it goes both ways.

Levy's POV is: pay more tonight or it's off.

Bayern's POV is: accept the offer tonight or you lose him on a free.

Transfer chicken.

Think Bayern's more likely to bend than Levy, personally, but will they even raise their bid by enough to appease him?

If Bayern are giving DL an ultimatum then Kane is staying

 

[Ron Burgundy]

If Bayern are giving DL an ultimatum then Kane is staying

Totally agree

One wonders if they are in the midst of preparing one final 'take it or leave it' bid of say circa €90-€100m or are they belligerent enough to still be using Monday's offering.

At least it now appears we are reaching a conclusion one way or t'other.

 

[van_Pommel]

It's a pathetic attempt at media spin just to maintain all the noise around the transfer, hoping they can put some more pressure on Levy. Fact is the pressure is all on them. They're in no position to be setting deadlines. They know the price. The only deadline they could set is to Kane, if they've told him they will move on after today if Levy hasn't caved by then.

 

[codspur]

Levy’s apparent conviction that this seasons improvement will convince Kane to sign is really something

I think he knows that if Kane doesn't sign by the last week of the season he can get Romero to finish him in training

 

[JacoZA]

Levy has many faults, but one thing's for certain - the man has diamond hands. No way he's blinking first.

It's been the most fascinating part from my perspective. Almost using the German media as a 'we will ridicule you in the German press unless you give in'

We've had Hoeness brazenly stating that they've already tapped him up
Bild reporters waving Kane shirts at our manager
Thought pieces belittling our history and standing as a club
All while every report says they're trying to sign our '€120m striker' for €80m.....

Yeah I think if they stick with their current offer he's 100% staying. They'll need to, at the very least, meet Levy in the middle to have any chance.

Think £100m including some reasonable add-ons would probably do it.

 

[TommyGee]

Complete speculation but my read is that they agreed a fee in principal at the meeting on Monday.

Levy likely verbally agreed to accept on Friday to give him to time pull the trigger on the current deals lined up which he's now done this week (VDV, Veliz & Phillips). We're now just seeing BM putting pressure on to make sure it's closed out.

Suspect there will be one more to follow later in the window (probably coinciding with Hojbjerg's sale), but otherwise it would mostly line up with previous ITK from last week.

I can't see Bayern offering £100m, only way it happens is if they offer something like £90m and Levy caves. Latter more likely imo.


Regardless, I don't really buy those arguing that the Kane situation is massively disrupting. I think you could have definitely argued that a couple of weeks ago but the season is about to start now anyway. If Kane doesn't play it's hardly a disaster to start Richarlison in the first few if there's too much speculation. And as long as we bring in van de Ven then any other business was going to get done later in the window anyway. If Kane goes it just means we probably go from Tosin to Tapsoba and bring in another young forward.

Feel like these deals aren't necessarily impacted by Kane, though.

Veliz and Phillips are both pretty cheap and had buy-out clauses so no financial implications from Kane there and the VdV deal has been on ice for weeks and we desperately needed a CB before the season starts anyway.

Maaaybe we wanted to push through the VdV deal before a Kane announcement in case Wolfsburg tried something sneaky, but don't think it's necessarily a definitive sign. Could just be the latest we could feasibly sign a CB before the season starts and we decided we couldn't push it any longer.

You’d think we had gone on a massive 150m spending spree bringing in world class talent, the way people talk this week up. We’ve literally signed no one yet and the only major possible signing is one we’ve had in pipeline for weeks. We aren’t holding up the Kane deal over Ashley Phillips ffs.

Agreed. I don't think Levy agrees to the original bid, certainly not now its out in public.

They'll need to increase the bid for sure, which is entirely possible of course. I assume this is why ITK is 50/50 now. No one can say for sure if Bayern will increase their bid (or if Levy will buckle).

If we are spending the Kane fee in advance I'd have expected more movement than this though. Were the deal to go through today we still end up paying a premium on whatever 2nd CB we go for plus any further attacking signings.

If anything this makes me less inclined to think something has already been agreed.

I don't expect financially they were dependent on Kane either, moreso the overall transfer direction moving forward as this Kane decision would have been a major pivot point.

I think almost certainly that would appease Daniel COYS
