Kane: Bayern Munich agree deal with Tottenham as late progress is made
By Story Agencies, August 11, 2023Bayern Munich have agreed a deal worth close to Ksh18.1 billion to sign England captain Harry Kane – and late progress was made on Thursday evening on the remaining issues that stand in the way of a transfer.
Bayern are willing to pay Tottenham Ksh15.5 billion up front for Kane, with add-ons taking the deal close to Ksh18.1 billion – a record for the club.
Kane now has a decision to make, and on Thursday, there were real doubts about the move happening, with sources telling Sky Sports News he was increasingly likely to stay at Spurs.
Though there is still no consensus over the issues that need to be resolved between the England captain and Spurs if he is to join Bayern, some progress has been made since Thursday afternoon.
Kane has one year left on his contract and, with no indication he will renew his deal, Spurs felt agreeing a move was the best worst-case scenario.
Significant day
Friday could now be a significant day in the future of Kane as negotiations continue.
Kane wants his future resolved before Tottenham’s season-opening Premier League game at Brentford on Sunday, August 13, live on Sky Sports.
Kane scored 30 Premier League goals last season in a disappointing campaign for Spurs as they finished eighth to miss out on European football, while they remain without a trophy since 2008.
Kane scored 280 goals in 435 appearances at Spurs, having scored his first in December 2011.
With 213 goals in 320 Premier League games, he is currently 48 goals off breaking Alan Shearer’s record as the highest scorer in Premier League history.
