Kane: Bayern Munich’s Hoeness confident Spurs striker will join club
By Story Agencies, July 16, 2023Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness is confident Tottenham striker Harry Kane will join the Bundesliga champions this summer.
The two clubs met on Thursday to discuss Kane’s possible switch to the Allianz Arena, although no meaningful progress was made between Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen.
“Harry Kane has clearly signalled in all conversations that his decision stands – and if he keeps to his word, then we’ll get him, because then Tottenham will have to buckle,” Hoeness told Sport1.
“Kane wants to play internationally and luckily for us Tottenham will not be active internationally next year.”
For their part, Tottenham will continue to try and persuade Kane to sign a lucrative contract extension, but fear he will leave for a Premier League rival should he run down his current deal.
Kane has not ruled out any option at this stage and was part of the Tottenham squad that departed for their pre-season tour to Australia on Friday.
Sky Sports News reported earlier this week that Tottenham and Bayern have held talks over the signing of Kane, who met new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou on Wednesday.
Bayern believe Kane wants to join them and that appears to be his most likely destination if he departs in the coming weeks.
The England captain has scored 213 goals for Spurs and is the second-highest scorer in Premier League history behind Alan Shearer. He needs 48 more goals to break the record.
