Even more than a month after Harry Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur to FC Bayern for the Bundesliga record sum of 100 million euros, the events surrounding the transfer are still filling the headlines. A claim that recently caused astonishment has now been banished to the realm of fairy tales.
The “Daily Mail” recently reported that Harry Kane will initially stay alone in Munich, while his wife and their four children will initially stay in Hertfordshire, north of London.
“Things could still change. But for now, with the new baby and school for the older child, Kate has decided to stay in this country (England, editor’s note) for the time being,” she said A specified source was quoted by the English newspaper.
So that they can still see each other regularly, the family should have access to a private jet, it was also said.
In the “Bild” podcast “Bayern Insider” this report was put in a completely different light. There is therefore no question that Kane’s family wants to move to Munich as quickly as possible. Only the house search has not yet been completed. “The Kanes will be Munich,” says “Bild” head of football Christian Falk unequivocally.
The striker is even said to have said that his youngest son would grow up with German as a second language.
Kane gave up an astronomical salary for FC Bayern
However, Falk and reporter colleague Tobias Altschäffl were able to confirm some other rumors surrounding the 30-year-old. The striker actually rejected an offer from the Saudi club Al Hilal, which would have brought him 100 million euros net per year, because he was simply still too ambitious in terms of sport and absolutely wanted to win the Champions League.
According to Falk and Altschäffl, a so-called matching right that Tottenham is said to have secured in the deal is also true. The same applies to the rumor that Manchester United also threw their hat into the ring and is said to have offered Spurs Jadon Sancho plus a transfer fee. However, this is said to have “never been a big issue” for Londoners.
