Bayern Munich is interested in the 30-year-old, who has only a year left on his contract.
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is willing to let Harry Kane depart this summer if a club matches his asking price, according to Dean Jones.
A number of prominent European clubs have expressed interest in signing the English forward this summer, but the North London club has openly said that he is not for sale.
Spurs do not intend to lose Kane during the summer transfer window.
According to the Times, the club has offered their all-time leading goalscorer a new contract worth an incredible £400k per week, making the England national team captain the joint highest-paid player in the division alongside Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City.
However, it appears that the striker wants to leave his options open during the transfer window, and he apparently has no intention of completing the deal until the transfer window closes. This puts the club in a difficult position because the forward only has a year left on his contract and might go for free next summer if no deal is reached.
A number of sides are interested in the Spurs talisman, however German giants Bayern Munich remain the most interested. The club have launched multiple bids in an attempt to bring the striker to the Allianz Arena, with manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly having held talks personally with Kane in his own home in order to try and convince him to make the move from London to Munich.
Spurs have rejected both offers, and according to journalist Jones, who spoke to GIVEMESPORT, a club record transfer fee from Bayern would be required to convince Levy to sell: “Daniel Levy has a real conundrum if Bayern commit to a bigger offer because this is his last chance to get big money for Kane while also getting him out of the country so that he can’t harm Spurs in the next couple of years.” It’s most likely the most intriguing aspect about this.
In a year’s time, he could end up at [Manchester] United or Chelsea or at another rival club on a free transfer, but if he joins Bayern now, he’s almost certain to stick with them for a couple of seasons while he collects his trophies. Now, that totally goes against everything briefed because Spurs are adamant still that Kane is not for sale — in England or abroad. But everyone is wondering if the businessman in Levy can genuinely stick to that line of thinking. And actually, I’m told there is a point at which he would listen to offers.
According to what I’ve heard, if Bayern makes a total bid that exceeds £100 million, it will have to be evaluated. And by “beyond,” I mean £120 million. So, let’s be honest: that’s unlikely. Bayern Munich is serious about signing Kane and has been assured that he is eager to do so. But will they be able to reach the required levels? It’s true that Spurs are placing a new contract offer in front of Kane, but there’s no way he’ll sign it right now.”
It’s a fascinating quandary that can be argued both ways.
If Spurs sell their talisman for a fee similar to what Jones reported, the proceeds may be used to assist the North London club’s present renovation. They have already signed keeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli and attacking midfielder James Maddison from Leicester City, and sources suggest they are interested in Bundesliga centre-back duo Micky Van de Ven and Edmond Tapsoba. Spurs may use the money from Kane’s departure to fund deals for both central defenders rather than having to choose one, and they could also replace the England international with Juventus attacker Dusan Vlahovic, who has been linked with a transfer to Spurs.
If Spurs can persuade their club legend to sign the new mega-money deal and commit his future to the club, new manager Ange Postecoglou will have arguably the best striker in the world on his hands, which will be a fantastic building block for the Australian as he looks to form his new-look team. Keeping Kane would also assist Spurs fans stay on board during potential transitional years, as they would appreciate the desire to keep their home-grown star at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
