Bayern Munich seems relentless in their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur’s star striker, Harry Kane, as reports suggest they are gearing up to make a third bid for the 29-year-old centre-forward.
With just a year left on his contract, Kane’s future at the North London club has been under intense speculation, fueling talks of a potential move away.
Initially linked with Manchester United as their primary target, hopes of securing Kane were dashed when Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, made it clear he would not sell to a domestic rival.
While Real Madrid was once seen as a potential destination, their interest appears to have cooled, leaving Bayern as the frontrunners in the race to capture the England captain’s signature during the current transfer window.
Despite already having two offers turned down by Tottenham, Bayern remains undeterred in their pursuit. The Bavarian giants are reportedly ready to table a third bid, anticipated to arrive officially at the end of the month when Spurs return from their pre-season tour.
Kane’s performances during the 2022-23 season have been nothing short of impressive, finding the net 32 times across all competitions, including 30 Premier League goals. However, despite his personal success, Tottenham disappointingly finished in eighth place, ruling out any European competitions in the upcoming season.
The allure of the Champions League may be a driving factor in Kane’s desire to join Bayern Munich. It is believed that the forward sees a strong chance of lifting the prestigious trophy at the Allianz Arena and is eager to make the move this summer.
New Tottenham head coach, Ange Postecoglou, has expressed his unease regarding Kane’s uncertain future, with the ongoing speculation gathering momentum. The club remains hopeful of persuading their Three Lions skipper to commit to a new contract, but this prospect seems unlikely while the transfer window remains open.
Recently, Kane reportedly met with Bayern’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel, at his London residence to discuss a potential move. However, Bayern’s most substantial offer so far falls significantly short of Tottenham’s valuation, as Levy is determined to hold onto his prized asset.
Bayern Munich’s determination to secure a top-class centre-forward in this transfer window is evident, as they aim to avoid a repeat of last summer when they failed to find a suitable replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
