FC Bayern: Uli Hoeneß confident with Tottenham’s Harry Kane

Bayern’s record transfer is getting closer

Uli Hoeneß is confident that Harry Kane (29), whose contract runs until 2024 at Tottenham Hotspur, will be transferred to FC Bayern Munich. “He made it very clear that his decision was made. And if she stays, then we’ll get him,” said the honorary president of the record champions during a visit to the training session at Tegernsee. Then “Tottenham will have to buckle”. Kane – with a current market value of 90 million euros – would be the most valuable player to ever make a permanent move to the Bundesliga. PSG also signaled their willingness to sign the top striker, but are said to be lagging behind.

The 29-year-old captain of the England national team and “Spurs” is the forward of choice for the new season. Hoeneß did not name a pain threshold for the transfer. You have to get Tottenham boss Daniel Levy “first to name a number,” said Hoeneß. Levy is known for going to the limit when negotiating and almost never selling players below market value (Tottenham’s record exits).

“He plays for time, is a savvy, super professional. I appreciate him very much. On the other hand, we are not people who have been doing this since yesterday. ”If Kane really wants to go to Bayern, then Tottenham will accept an offer from Bayern. The last time there was a figure of 80 million euros plus bonus payments. With bonuses, he would replace Lucas Hernández (27, PSG) as the most expensive purchase in Bundesliga history. “He wants to play internationally. Tottenham are not active there in the coming season – in contrast to our club. He now has another opportunity to come to a top club in Europe,” said Hoeneß (quoted via evening newspaper).

Update July 16, 1:58 p.m.: According to the “Sport1” reporter Kerry Hau the Hoeneß statements were not well received internally at FC Bayern. The people involved would classify them as unfortunate and unnecessary. Nevertheless, those responsible are still convinced that they can handle the Kane transfer.

FC Bayern’s Hoeneß on Neuer: “Must not put pressure on Manuel”

On the way to the comeback of national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (37), Hoeneß urged prudence. “What we’re not allowed to do is that we put pressure on Manuel,” said the Bayern maker. Neither by naming a time for a comeback, nor by buying an “expensive goalkeeper”. “The injury wasn’t easy. It’s okay that there’s always a setback,” said Hoeneß. “It’s all about him. If he’s fine, we’re fine.” The aim is for the 37-year-old Neuer to remain number 1.


Most Valuable Over 34 Goalkeepers
Sommer & Neuer at the forefrontTo overview
Neuer has been missing since breaking his lower leg in December. It probably won’t be enough for a comeback at the start of the season on August 18 at Werder Bremen. With Yann Sommer (34) you will talk about all facets and perspectives, said Hoeneß about the new replacement committed in winter, which should be on the list at Inter Milan.

At the Nerazzuri, he could succeed André Onana (27), who is facing a €50m transfer to Manchester United. Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel (26), on the other hand, can leave the club. “We accepted his decision and if he finds a club, he can go.” Among other things, VfB Stuttgart has expressed an interest in Nübel.
