In contrast to Uli Hoeneß, Bayern’s CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen is keeping a low profile in the transfer poker around Harry Kane. Nevertheless, he describes the statements made by Munich’s Honorary President as correct.
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has warned of restraint in the transfer poker for Tottenham’s Harry Kane.
“We would do well not to comment further on the topics where we are traveling beyond what is currently known,” said the 55-year-old at the training camp of the German record champions at Tegernsee. It is known that the people of Munich are very interested in Kane. “Uli Hoeneß said a lot about that too. That’s all true. I think at this point in time it’s best to do what the coach said: the grass doesn’t grow any faster, even if you pull on it.”
Hoeneß makes headlines again
According to media reports, the Bundesliga club was upset about the offensive statements made by Honorary President Hoeneß about the desired engagement of the star striker. The 71-year-old Hoeneß had made an optimistic transfer forecast for the English international. “He has made it very clear that his decision stands. And if it stays the same, then we’ll get him. Then Tottenham will have to give in.”
For Kane there is a mega fee of 80 million euros plus bonuses. The captain of the English national team could possibly become the first 100 million star in Munich club history. Hoeneß avoided naming a pain threshold for the Spurs attacker. You have to get Tottenham boss Daniel Levy “first to name a number,” said Hoeneß. “He plays for time, is a savvy, super professional. I appreciate him very much. On the other hand, we’re not people who have been doing it since yesterday.”
Tuchel calms down
Coach Tuchel had made a more defensive statement about the search for a striker. Unlike Hoeneß, the 49-year-old avoided expressing himself specifically. One is looking for a number 9, said Tuchel. “We’re ready to get fully involved if it’s someone who we’re all convinced will help us, athletically, personally and with his personality.”
