TOP STORY: Bayern to start talks over Kane

Bayern Munich are set to begin talks with Tottenham Hotspur regarding forward Harry Kane, according to Rudy Galetti.

The England captain is entering the final year of his contract with Spurs, who must decide on the future of the 29-year-old as to ensure he does not leave on a free transfer next summer. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to be reluctant to offload Kane to Premier League rivals, which leaves the door ajar for Bayern to make an approach.

When does the summer transfer window open and close?

The report states that the Bavarian club have earmarked Kane as their main attacking target for this summer, with Spurs’ record goalscorer reported to be interested in a move to the Bundesliga champions.

Bayern are believed to be in the market for a high-profile forward this summer after seeing Robert Lewandowski join Barcelona last season. Alongside Kane, the Bundesliga outfit have been linked to Eintracht Frankfurt‘s Randal Kolo Muani and Atalanta‘s Rasmus Hojlund, showcasing Bayern’s desire to bring an established forward to the club.

Manchester United were previously linked with a move for Kane, however, the Red Devils interest has cooled due to the £100 million fee Spurs would want for his transfer. Whilst Bayern may struggle to meet that £100m valuation, Spurs could be more forgiving to a club outside of England.
