FC Bayern has been working on signing Tottenham’s Harry Kane for weeks. The 29-year-old is said to be very interested in moving to the Bundesliga. But Tottenham are reluctant to give up their centre-forward. They have already rejected a first offer of 70 million euros plus bonus payments. FC Bayern is said to have increased the sum again and offered 80 million euros. But even that doesn’t seem enough so far.
So the struggle for Tottenham’s striker continues and remains a big issue. Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou can’t ignore that either. Again questions about Kane’s future rained down on him. In the answers he was clear.

Postecoglou and Kane didn’t appear to be having a conversation about the future
Ahead of the friendly against West Ham United in Perth, Australia, Ange Postecoglou was immediately asked about his conversation with Harry Kane. It should have been “good,” he reports. But there was nothing “world-shattering or decisive”. In any case, it was probably not about the big question. The question of Kane’s future. “We mainly talked about the club and what they think, where they are and where there is room for improvement.”
“If other clubs want to talk about players who are under contract with us, it’s a bigger problem for them than it is for us.”

It was only at the weekend that Uli Hoeneß made a clear statement about a decision on the subject of Kane. “So far, Harry has made it very clear in all conversations that his decision stands. And if she stays, then we’ll get him. Then Tottenham will have to give in,” he blurted out.

The Tottenham coach made it clear to Hoeneß’ statements in the press conference. That’s why there are “no discussions” at the Spurs, he emphasized. “It doesn’t affect him either. If other clubs want to talk about players who are under contract with us, it’s a bigger problem for them than for us,” he said.

The vortex, Postecoglou claimed, won’t throw Kane off track either. “A lot of people know Harry better than I do, but he won’t let that affect him. He’s here and as long as that’s the case, he’s fully committed to what we’re doing.”
