Striker Harry Kane recently met with coach Thomas Tuchel to discuss his potential transfer to Bayern Munich. It appears that the English forward has made up his mind to part ways with Tottenham and join a club that can take his career to new heights.
After a less impressive performance in the 2022/23 season, Bayern immediately started planning for squad renovations. The Bundesliga champions prioritized bolstering their striker position after Sadio Mane failed to meet expectations. Harry Kane of Tottenham became their number one target. In the latest development, the Allianz Arena has received positive news from the English striker.
Specifically, according to Sport Bild, coach Thomas Tuchel personally traveled to London to discuss Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich. The conversation even took place at the 29-year-old striker's private residence. Furthermore, Kane expressed to Tuchel that he wants to win the Champions League with Bayern.
Of course, the specific details of the story remain a mystery. However, it appears to be a significant boost for Bayern in this transfer saga. Previously, Bayern inquired about the purchase of England's captain for £60 million plus add-ons, but only received a rejection from Tottenham. Chairman Daniel Levy maintained his stance of not selling Kane for less than £100 million. It is expected that the Allianz Arena will soon submit a second offer with enough weight to persuade the selling party.
Despite being a renowned striker, Harry Kane has yet to win his first major trophy in his career. The English forward came very close to winning the Champions League in 2019 but fell short with Tottenham against Liverpool in the final. With Kane approaching the age of 30 at the end of July, choosing clubs like Bayern becomes essential.
Bayern also does not want to bring in a 29-year-old striker solely for domestic dominance. What they seek is glory in the Champions League. Indeed, with a high-quality midfield and top-notch wing-backs already in place, Kane is the missing piece that Bayern needs.
