BAYERN MUNICH

I heard one of the problems with the Harry Kane transfer came in the form of a very big offer from Al-Hilal - $100m net in wages in Saudi Arabia. Al-Hilal tried to get him before they tried to sign Neymar, so Kane was the club’s No.1 target. They talked to the family and showed Harry the offer, but the latter said ‘no’, rejecting the chance to follow his international colleague Jordan Henderson to the Middle East, as it meant he wouldn’t play in the Champions League and could also harm his prospects with the England national team ahead of the European Championship in 2024. It was also a very attractive option for Tottenham. I heard they could have earned much more than the €100m PSG got from Al-Hilal for Neymar.
