Striker Harry Kane, celebrated and revered in his native England, now scores for FC Bayern. The club has a new superstar – but he doesn’t want to be one.
Those who were there, the last ones who held out until two in the morning, are still raving about that night. Her words sound so incredulous and ecstatic, as if it all happened yesterday. One might think that the night on which Harry Kane came to Bayern was a few weeks ago.
On the evening of August 11th, a Friday, Kane, 30, showed up at the club’s office to negotiate the final details of his four-year contract. Complicated paperwork, the matter drags on, hour after hour passes. Occasionally Kane steps to the window and waves down to Säbener Strasse, where Bayern fans are chanting his name.
