Bundesliga: Harry Kane has made up his mind to join Bayern Munich – Uli Hoeness

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness has said that he is confident they will sign England captain Harry Kane this summer.

The two clubs met on Thursday, July 13, to discuss Kane’s possible switch to the Allianz Arena, although no meaningful progress was made between Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen. Dialogue remains open, however, with Bayern confident the transfer will take place.

Speaking to kicker’s Georg Holzner, Uli Hoeness declared that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has chosen Bayern Munich as his new destination and promised that fans will see him in red this season as long as the England captain keeps his word.

The old patriarch said;

“Kane has clearly signalled in all conversations that his decision stands and if it stays, then we’ll get him.

“He wants to play in Europe and luckily for us Tottenham will not be next year. He now has another opportunity to come to a top club in Europe.

“His advisers are also very pleasant in this case. Up to now, the father and the brother have always stood by what they promised. If it stays that way, that’s OK.”

Bayern wanted to pay £60 million plus add-ons for the England captain, who is in the final year of his contract, but Spurs have not accepted any bid for their leading goalscorer.

For their part, Tottenham will continue to try and persuade Kane to sign a lucrative contract extension, but fear he will leave for a Premier League rival should he run down his current deal.

Spurs are willing to offer Kane a new contract, worth around £400,000-a-week and with a post-career plan, to stay at the club but will be braced for further attempts to land him after Hoeness’s comments from Germany.
