Almost a year after Robert Lewandowski left FC Bayern for FC Barcelona, it is finally clear that the experiment of trying to absorb the departure of the top scorer with the existing staff as far as possible has failed. In Munich, the search for a new goal-getter is in full swing. However, a purchase of Harry Kane, which has been discussed again and again, is likely to fail – despite a special “Bayern price”.
“We’re missing the goalscorer who gets things done. That’s what we’ll definitely need in the future,” said club president Herbert Hainer after FC Bayern’s departure from the Champions League and at the same time announced that one was on the transfer market will become active. “You can assume that we will strengthen the team in such a way that we can again fight for the Champions League title. Our goal is very clearly to play at the top in Europe,” said the 68-year-old.
Given the outstanding tally of 207 goals in 314 English Premier League games, there is no question that Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane would be a very good fit for FC Bayern in this ambitious project. Especially since, according to the “Telegraph”, Bayern are one of the clubs that have a significant advantage in poker for the 29-year-old.
According to the newspaper, while interested parties from the Premier League would have to shell out 110 million euros to pry Kane away from Spurs, a foreign club would be able to win the race with an offer of 90 million euros.
That speaks against a Kane change to Bayern
The chances that Kane will soon kick at Säbener Straße are still slim. On the one hand, even the supposedly reduced price would set a new transfer record for the Bundesliga, on the other hand, Kane should prefer to stay on the island.
The “Sun” reports that Manchester United in particular is said to be digging for the captain of the English national team, and Kane is said to have even received the first positive signals about a move to Old Trafford.
Particularly tempting: United is said to be ready to significantly increase the already lavish Kane salary of twelve million euros. In addition, with a move within the Premier League, Kane could continue working towards becoming the top scorer in league history.
The captain of the England national team currently ranks third in the all-time best list with 207 goals in 314 games, but Wayne Rooney’s lead (208/491) should soon be history. However, Kane is still 53 goals short of record holder Alan Shearer (260/441). A gap that he will definitely not be able to close by the end of the season and that he will not easily make up for before his contract with Spurs expires in the summer of 2024.
By the way, they also believe in Kane’s move to Bayern Munich sport.de-User not. In a survey of more than 15,000 voters, only 26 percent said they were confident that Kane would one day wear the Bayern shirt.
