Uli Hoeness thinks Harry Kane would make Bayern Munich go “gaga,” but the Bundesliga champions are still interested in signing the England captain.
Discussions about Kane’s future have been sparked by Tottenham’s failure to win any trophies this season.
Bayern is one of the very few teams that seems capable of bringing in a player of that calibre, paying the transfer fee and wages while also guaranteeing the striker the chance to finally bring home a trophy.
But honorary president Hoeness has suggested the idea of splashing out on Kane would be “completely gaga”.
Hoeness appeared to make a similar suggestion in an interview with Sky Sports, though he also discussed how Bayern could still make a bid for Kane.
“It doesn’t go over my desk,” Hoeness said. “I’m one of nine members of the supervisory board who have a say in the executive committee when it comes to large expenses of over €25million.

“I’ve expressed my personal private opinion here. I can imagine that the day is coming a player would go to Bayern and can cost around €100million, but I gave my opinion specifically on the Kane case.
“He’s almost 30 years old and last year Tottenham rejected Manchester City’s €160million offer.”
Asked what role he might have in any discussions around Kane, Hoeness replied: “I would give my private opinion.
“I’m one of nine, and if the other eight say he’s going to be bought, then he’s going to be bought. That’s how it is in a democracy.”
Bayern’s record transfer remains their €80m signing of Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid in 2019.
