At FC Bayern, former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is now responsible for transfer poker for Tottenham Hotspur’s goalscorer Harry Kane.
This is reported by “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg. Accordingly, the Supervisory Board member is now conducting negotiations on personnel matters.
Squad planner Mario Neppe is said to have done the preparatory work. It is said that the 37-year-old technical director convinced Kane to switch to the German record champions.
Even more: Kane’s decision is clear, he only wants to switch to Bayern this summer, reports Plettenberg.
Rummenigge and Co. have long been in direct contact with those responsible for Spurs. A second offer is in preparation.
Previously, several media had reported unanimously that Tottenham had rejected an initial offer from FC Bayern for 70 million euros. Club boss Daniel Levy, who is considered a tough negotiator, is said to be demanding more than 100 million euros for the 29-year-old record goalscorer for the English national team.
Manchester United should continue to get involved in the campaign for Kane. According to “Sunday Express”, the Red Devils could involve former Dortmund player Jadon Sancho in a possible transfer. The 23-year-old is considered a sales candidate in Manchester.
Harry Kane to Bayern? “A clear statement”
However, experts advise Bayern to go “all in” with Kane. “This player really knows where the goal is, can also play football really well, has hardly any weaknesses and is the captain of the English national team,” wrote Lothar Matthäus in his “Sky” column. With Kane, FC Bayern will “at least go to the limits of what is possible and weigh everything that the cash register gives,” the record national player suspected.
Former Bundesliga professional and manager Fredi Bobic sees Kane’s move to Munich as “a clear statement” for the entire Bundesliga.
“He would be the legitimate successor to Robert Lewandowski – and as a nine he embodies absolute world class,” said the ex-striker in “kicker”.
