“A little disrespectful”
Julian Nagelsmann from FC Bayern praised top striker Harry Kane and could also imagine goals in the Bundesliga for the English international. Shortly thereafter, however, the Munich coach received a scolding from Tottenham manager Antonio Conte for his statements about the “Spurs” professional.

“It’s very expensive, that’s the problem. He’s a brilliant player, one of the best strikers in the world,” Nagelsmann said in Green Bay. “It would be possible for him to score a lot of goals in the Bundesliga. I don’t know the exact price, but it’s very tough for Bayern. We’ll see what happens in the future.”
Conte reacted after the 2-1 test match at Glasgow Rangers, in which Kane had scored both goals for Spurs, scratched the fact that Nagelsmann was even talking about his protégé. Although he did not hear the statements himself. “If I want to do something, I speak to the club and not to the media. It’s maybe a bit disrespectful to the other club,” said the Spurs coach, who took over the helm in London at the end of last year and brought Kane back to his old marksmanship after a slump (a goal in ten league games this season before Conte came on). 16 goals in 28 league games under the Italian).

Bayern’s Kahn also spoke about Kane – Conte: “These are rumours”
Kane still has a contract with Tottenham until 2024 and his market value is 90 million euros, making him the second most valuable professional in the Premier League. CEO Oliver Kahn, who is not planning any further transfers in the expected price range of Kane this summer, had already praised the 28-year-old (to the news). You have to see what else will happen, said Kahn in this context.
Conte now emphasized the fundamental issue: “I’m certainly not a coach who talks about players from other clubs.” The Italian was confident about the English captain staying at “Spurs”: “Harry is part of the project, an important part of the project. Those are rumours.”
FC Bayern signed four newcomers this summer. For Matthijs de Ligt (22), Munich paid Juventus a fee of EUR 67 million, which can increase by a further EUR 10 million with bonuses. Sadio Mané (30) cost 32 million euros, another 9 million euros can also be added here. Including the duo Noussair Mazraoui (24; free transfer) and Ryan Gravenberch (20; 18.5 million euros), who came from Ajax, the Munich side have so far spent 117.5 million euros on the transfer market. This puts Munich in second place in an international comparison. However, the next high-value deal is to be made in the near future: FC Bayern is said to have agreed with Stade Rennes on a transfer from Mathys Tel (17), which Nagelsmann has also already spoken about.

Nagelsmann hopes Pavard will stay at Bayern
Nagelsmann was also looking forward to the friendly against Manchester City for former Bayern coach Pep Guardiola on Sunday night (1:00 a.m. CEST). “I’ve been following Pep since the Barcelona days. Barcelona’s counter-pressing back then was the most impressive thing at the time. When you’re a young coach, you make sure that you see almost all the games from the best coaches in the industry and get new ideas,” said Nagelsmann.
The coach also emphasized that he hoped world champion Benjamin Pavard (26) would stay in Munich. The Frenchman has been considered a candidate for sale since the signings of defenders de Ligt and Mazraoui because of the large offer in defense. “I would be happy if he stayed. We’ll see what happens,” said Nagelsmann. Pavard is a very good player who can be used in different positions. Kahn recently said that there were no plans to give up one of the established professionals. With a view to the pressures of the coming season, you need a large squad, said the CEO.
