Bayern raised the asking price for Kane to $120 million
On August 4, Bayern sent a third offer to buy Kane for $ 109 million with additional fees, but was rejected by Tottenham. At that time, the Bundesliga champion showed a tough attitude by giving the English team a day to decide. Tottenham did not respond within the deadline, but nevertheless informed Bayern that they did not accept the offer.
Before that, Tottenham had twice rejected Bayern's offer for $ 77 million in June, then $ 90 million in July.
On the evening of August 7, the Bayern leadership met to decide whether to continue pursuing Kane or not. According to Sky Sports, after agreeing that Bayern still wants to have England striker, Bayern will raise the offer to $ 120 million with an additional fee to once again convince Tottenham to release Kane.
Bayern believe Kane's future will be decided this week, as the 30-year-old striker wishes, before Tottenham kick off the 2023-2024 Premier League opening match against Brentford on August 13. If it is not possible to close the deal with Bayern, Kane is likely to stay.
Kane has just one year left on his Tottenham contract and does not want to renew it, meaning he is free to leave next summer. If that happens, Tottenham could lose their main striker without earning any money, maybe even watch him join a rival team in the Premier League - something Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has sought to prevent. hindered for many years.
Currently, Kane is still actively training and playing under the new coach Ange Postecoglou. On August 6, he played in a friendly match, beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 and scoring four goals. But Kane did not go to Catalonia to play the last friendly match of Tottenham this summer - the reverse defeat to Barca 2-4 on August 8.
Kane scored 30 goals in the Premier League last year as Tottenham finished the season in eighth place and failed to qualify for the European Cup. The North London team has not won a trophy since 2008. This is one of the reasons why Kane wants to leave.
Kane has scored 280 goals in 435 appearances for Tottenham. He scored his first goal for the club in December 2011. If counting the Premier League alone, Kane has scored 213 goals in 320 matches. He needed 48 more goals to break the record for most goalscorers in tournament history held by Alan Shearer.
