Tottenham boss Daniel Levy does not seem to like FC Bayern’s approach to Harry Kane’s transfer poker. On Wednesday it was reported that coach Thomas Tuchel and the then sports director Hasan Salihamidzic are said to have visited the English top striker in his house in mid-May to make a change palatable for the 29-year-old. This led to clear upsets in the 61-year-old, like “Picture” and “Sports Picture” to report. This could have consequences for the German record champions.
Rumor: Harry Kane to Bayern Munich
Accordingly, Levy, who is considered one of the toughest negotiators in the football business, is particularly bothered by the fact that Munich has been negotiating behind his back for a long time with Kane, who is still tied to “Spurs” until 2024 and is therefore only officially involved half a year before the end of the contract should talk to other clubs. For this “no-go” he wanted to “let Bayern bleed” financially, as the article says. Levy rejected an initial offer of over 70 million euros, and he would not accept an offer of over 100 million euros as a reaction to the events. The series champion would have to dig even deeper into his pocket if he wants to sign Kane. The transfer record in the Bundesliga is 80 million euros, which Bayern paid for Lucas Hernández (27).

Bayern should have received positive signals from the captain of the English national team after the efforts. Kane was impressed by meeting the ex-Chelsea coach. The top scorer is particularly motivated by the fact that the chances of winning a title at FC Bayern are much higher than at most other top clubs. So far, the right foot can still look at a completely empty trophy collection – with the exception of individual awards.

Tottenham striker Kane would defer salary demands for Bayern
In order to be able to finalize a move to Munich, Kane would also postpone his salary claims, it is said. According to English media reports, the striker earns around 12 million euros net at Tottenham – a sum that would not break the salary structure in Munich. The top earner is currently Sadio Mané, who earns between 22 and 24 million euros gross. But the north Londoners continue to fight for Kane’s whereabouts and, according to the newspaper, should “The Guardians“ have submitted a new contract offer – including a significant salary increase. According to the “Bild”, this is also a sign to Bayern to make it as difficult as possible for the club to advertise for Kane.
