Harry Kane is heading to Bayern Munich from Premier League club Tottenham? What we know so far

Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has dominated the transfer talks, however, England captain and prolific Premier League striker Harry Kane is not far behind. As the transfer window deadline approaches, Harry Kane still remains a soccer player of Tottenham, but it seems unlikely to last much longer as Bayern Munich shows interest.

Despite face-to-face talks on Monday, no resolution was reached, and it increasingly looks like a matter of "when" rather than "if" the England international will make the move to Bavaria. The two clubs' valuations still have a significant gap of about £20 million, depending on the deal's terms and structure. However, the fact that there is a gap in valuations is a significant point from the negotiations. Unlike in the past, Tottenham's valuation of Kane is not considered "priceless" anymore, especially with less than a year left on his contract, as per a report in CBS.

Is Harry Kane Leaving Tottenham?

Over three weeks ago, there were suggestions that Tottenham would offer Kane a staggering £400,000-a-week to convince him to stay, but there has been no indication that the player is tempted by such a generous offer. Ironically, a couple of years ago, it seemed like Kane had limited options at this stage of the summer, but now the tables have turned, and Tottenham might be the ones feeling the pressure, the report says.


This situation has made the head coach, Ange Postecoglu, feel uneasy about negotiations dragging on into the critical phase of his tenure, which begins on August 12 against Brentford, a team that nearly outperformed Tottenham last season, according to the report.

Bayern Munich on Harry Kane

There have been speculations that Kane may remain if a deal is not struck before the opening weekend of the season, but it could be seen as a power move. By giving his employers an 11-day deadline, he is essentially urging them to secure a deal or risk him running down his contract, allowing him to sign a pre-contract agreement with Bayern Munich in January and securing a share of the €80 million offer from the Bundesliga champions, as per the report.

This maneuvering is much shrewder than two years ago when Kane tried to push for a transfer to Manchester City without success. Now, he has more leverage in negotiations, having reached the prime of his career and with a contract situation that puts him in a stronger position.
