Bayern Munich are willing to test uncertainty at Tottenham with a persuasive offer for Harry Kane as the German club seek a No 9 this summer, according to The Independent.
While the repeat Bundesliga champions would prioritise a younger profile, the fact Kane has only one year left on his contract makes a possible transfer appealing and at least worth pursuing.
Bayern have not been dissuaded from attempting a deal but it is generally felt the 29-year-old wants to stay in England, especially in order to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record.
That is even allowing for Kane’s frustration with the lack of progress at Tottenham and yet another year of uncertainty after the departure of Antonio Conte.
The choice of next manager will feed into the player’s thinking this summer as his contract continues to run.
That situation takes away much of the leverage Daniel Levy had in 2021 when the player wanted to go to Manchester City, and is also why Bayern feel the situation is at least worth testing.
There is also the fact that, even allowing for that contract pressure and the possibility Kane could leave for free in 2024, Levy is absolutely adamant he does not want to sell to an English club.
