Bayern Munich is said to have achieved a breakthrough in their pursuit of Tottenham’s striker Harry Kane, securing an agreement for a transfer valued at over €100 million.
After facing unsuccessful outcomes with three previous bids for the England captain, Bayern Munich has ultimately managed to persuade Tottenham’s Daniel Levy to yield.
Noted journalist David Ornstein has confirmed that the German club has successfully negotiated with Tottenham to acquire their star player for a fee exceeding €100 million (£86 million or $110 million).
The ball is now in Kane’s court. Reports have indicated that the 30-year-old forward has reached the decision that this summer presents the opportune moment for him to depart from Spurs, a club where he holds an esteemed position as their all-time leading goal scorer.
A move to the Bundesliga champions appears alluring, yet the question remains whether Tottenham’s key player, who supposedly had preliminary terms agreed with Bayern earlier in the transfer window, will ultimately finalise the transfer.
Why the potential hesitation? Kane’s contract is set to expire in 2024, potentially granting him the option to choose from an array of elite European clubs interested in acquiring his services on a free transfer.
This dilemma raises the question: Should he embark on the move now, which offers the certainty of Champions League football and the likelihood of winning trophies, or should he wait until the following summer to make a decisive choice?
Decision time. Does he stay, or does he go? As Kane weighs up what to do next, Tottenham will be in preparation mode for their Premier League opener on Sunday, where they will face Brentford.
It’s unclear if the latest developments will now mean the 30-year-old is unavailable for selection; all eyes will be on Ange Postecoglou’s press conference later!
