The Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, among others, has now reported that Bayern should have asked about the attacker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. Kane still has a contract in England until 2024. According to transfermarkt.de, the market value of the 28-year-old is 100 million euros.
According to the report, the considerations surrounding this transfer are only in the initial phase. It is not yet clear whether it is ultimately just a rumor. Various media have already denied FC Bayern’s serious interest. The question that remains exciting regardless of this:
Should Bayern make an effort to sign Harry Kane?
The “pro from Florian Wichert
There are few players worth throwing their principles overboard. For example, the principle, as a financially far-sighted football club, not to pay horrendous transfer fees of around 100 million euros for players around 30 years of age. One of those exceptions is about to turn 29 and is so good that almost any sum would be justified. Is he available? Questionable. But FC Bayern definitely has to try. Because it’s about none other than England striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.
He’s a giant, one of the best Premier League strikers of all time. A goal machine, three-time top scorer in England, once at a World Cup. 49 goals in 69 internationals, 182 goals in 281 Premier League games. And he’s a player for the Champions League, where he has scored 19 times in 23 matches.
Why would he still be a win for Bayern at the age of 28? Because he hasn’t won a single title in addition to the top scorer cannons and is correspondingly greedy for trophies. And because he is not a migratory bird, but is committed to a club. He played for Tottenham as a youth – now he’s looking for a new challenge.
World footballer Lewandowski can hardly be replaced. But if any forward comes close to his goalscoring tally and performances, there’s only one: Harry Kane.
No, Kane is not one for the post
The contra of Robert Hiersemann
FC Bayern is looking for a suitable successor to none other than Robert Lewandowski. Not many attackers in the world would qualify for that role, and Harry Kane certainly isn’t one for the post. The record champions have to look for a man who can guarantee him 20, better 30 goals every season in the league. Just as the Pole has managed to do in all seasons since the 2015 season.
Kane, on the other hand, has only surpassed 20 league goals once in the past four seasons. And this despite the fact that the Premier League has four more game days than the Bundesliga. That is far too little!
