In tough poker for top striker Harry Kane, an agreement has apparently been reached. How “The Athletic“reported, FC Bayern agreed with Tottenham Hotspur on the commitment of the 30-year-old. An offer from the German record champions, which is said to be worth more than 100 million euros (about 86.4 million pounds), was therefore accepted by the Premier League club on Wednesday. It would be the first 100 million purchase in Bundesliga history.
Market value of Harry Kane
Kane now has to decide whether or not to make the move. The England captain wants to clarify the situation ahead of Tottenham’s first game of the season in Brentford on Sunday, sources say. Recently there have also been reports that he is tending to stay after he is said to have already informed Munich of his willingness to change.
According to reports, Kane is expecting a contract with the German record champions that will guarantee him an annual salary of around 29 million euros – a record for the Bundesliga. Bayern’s current top earners are Serge Gnabry, Joshua Kimmich, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer, who, according to information from “Sport Bild” and “Bild”, receive between 19 million and 21 million euros per season .

With Kane, the Bayern squad would get the hoped-for top star in the top striker after Robert Lewandowski left last summer. While Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Mathys Tel are a strong duo with a proven track record of winning the Bundesliga, it takes more quality to win the Champions League. The Munich task force, which persistently continued to work on the deal, was also aware of this.
Performance data from Harry Kane
Kane would become the most expensive purchase in the Bundesliga and of course also the most expensive new signing at FC Bayern. Lucas Hernández, who once cost 80 million euros in 19/20, is currently at the top of both statistics.
