Especially with reports during the week that he was happy to stay. There is no sugar coating it. The club wants Bayern's money.
It's really not that simple though is it.
Kane has wanted to move for the last 3 seasons. He wants to win the Ballon D'or. He wants to be winning league titles and champions leagues now. He is never going to sign another contract with us even if we win the carabao cup.
I can imagine just out of respect for Kane, Levy has agreed to meet with Bayern and told Kane if they pay what we want then he can leave. If it was simply about the money we would have sold him to Man City a couple of seasons back.
I'm sure Kane would have maintained his professionalism if Bayern didn't pay up, and obviously at one stage it looked like they weren't, so reports saying he was happy to stay was just PR from his side just in case the move didn't happen and there were acusations of him not being committed etc...
