Kane bid rejected but Bayern may play on Levy’s fears
Tottenham have rejected a formal offer from Bayern Munich for Harry Kane. The German champions tabled a bid of £60m (€70m) plus add-ons offer and it was quickly turned away by Daniel Levy, who is in no mood to sell, and especially not at that price.
As previously revealed, Levy is hoping to keep Kane. Only offers of £100m or more are expected to change that.
Manchester United have already explored a deal for Kane, and did so early to understand whether it was possible. They want to avoid a long-running summer saga and came away from discussions with low optimism a deal is possible.
Perhaps the advantage Bayern have, who have been long-linked with Kane, is that they are not a Premier League rival to Spurs. But it’s still thought they would need to offer a guaranteed fee of £80-85m plus add-ons to seriously progress talks.
