Tottenham could consider selling of Harry Kane amid growing pressure from Bayern Munich, who continue their push for the striker.
According to Rudy Galetti, Tottenham are seriously considering selling Harry Kane amid growing speculation surrounding his future. The 29-year-old striker has a year left on his contract and is yet to show signs of signing a new deal, as Bayern Munich’s pressure keeps increasing.
On Saturday, many fans must have seen the various comments made by Bayern Munich’s Honorary President, Uli Hoeness, on Harry Kane. He said, “Harry Kane now wants to play in European competitions. Tottenham won’t be there next season, we will be there”. “He has another chance to join a top European club.”
Hoeness further suggested Kane had already decided his future, as he said, “Harry Kane has very clearly signalled that his decision was made. If he keeps his word, we will sign him. Tottenham will have to give up, we’ve to get an asking price from Levy.”
There was a recent meeting between Bayern Munich and Tottenham in London to discuss the primary subject, Kane. Daniel Levy has remained adamant that the striker was not for sale and has rejected at least two bids from the Bavarians.

From Tottenham’s perspective, Kane is their best chance to break into the top four and return to the Champions League. That will likely hold much more financial value than selling the striker in his last contractual year.
Tottenham reportedly value him at £120 million, which may appear too steep for any club, including Bayern Munich. Hoeness’s comments indicate they have yet to get a definitive asking price from Levy, which shows the Tottenham chairman’s intent on keeping the English striker, who scored 32 goals across all competitions last season.
However, amid growing pressure from Bayern, who are convinced Kane only wants to join the Bundesliga giants, Tottenham are considering their options. Rudy Galetti insists Spurs are seriously thinking about selling the 32-goal striker for a suitable price.
Bayern are also reportedly ready to make an improved bid to test Tottenham further on this saga. Whether they come close to the reported £120 million valuation remains the question. For Bayern to speak in public may have consequences, but in truth, they have nothing to lose.
Bayern know this window represents the best chance to sign Kane. If he becomes a free agent next summer, other clubs will come that could make him a better proposal. English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea have been keen on him. But in the current climate, they cannot negotiate with Levy for the England captain.
