He went to the airport to go to Germany for a medical checkup with Bayern, but Harry Kane had to linger for a while to get on the plane, because Tottenham changed a few small terms at the last minute.

After two months of pursuing Kane with three rejections by Tottenham, the recruitment of the English striker is progressing very quickly with Bayern. The fact that Tottenham agreed to sell Kane for $ 110 million in the morning of August 10 London time removed the knot, leaving the deal only waiting for the nod of the 30-year-old striker. By the end of August 10, Kane agreed.

Bayern immediately booked Kane's medical examination in Munich so that the procedure could be carried out today, August 11, when he flew to Germany. Personal terms were also finalized yesterday by the two sides with a four-year contract, with a weekly salary of about $525,000, more than double what he received at Tottenham.

But when he was on his way to the airport to go to Munich, Kane received news that Tottenham had not yet allowed him to leave. The English striker and his team of advisers had to stay at the airport for a long time. The incident, according to two transfer news experts Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg, stems from the fact that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is in the US, has a time zone difference, and wants to change some small details in the contract between the two clubs. However, this problem was later resolved for Kane to board the plane to Germany.

According to German media, in addition to the $ 110 million fixed transfer fee agreed as on August 10, Bayern may have to pay an additional 22 million fee for Tottenham, based on Kane's contribution in the new shirt.

According to German newspaper Kicker, although this recruitment is completed in the near future, the British rookie will not be able to join Bayern in the German Super Cup match - against RB Leipzig - at 1:45 am on Sunday 13/8. But Kane will start when Bayern visit Werder Bremen in the first round of the Bundesliga six days later.

Kane holds the record for scoring 280 goals for Tottenham and 58 goals for England. He is currently second in the list of top scorers in the Premier League with 213 goals, just behind the record of 260 goals of the legendary Alan Shearer. However, the 30-year-old striker has not yet won the collective title. Kane has failed in the 2015 and 2021 League Cup finals, the 2019 Champions League final with Tottenham and the Euro 2021 final with England.

Last season, although he scored 30 goals, Tottenham only finished 8th in the English Premier League, and did not qualify for the European Cup this season. This is the reason why Kane refused to extend the validity of only one year and wanted to leave this summer. Tottenham must be reluctant to sell him, to avoid losing everything in the summer of 2024.

If he moves to Bayern, Kane can quench his thirst for titles right in the 2023-2024 season. In the last 11 seasons, Bayern won the Bundesliga. The German team even won the treble in the 2012-2013 and 2019-2020 seasons.

To replace Kane, according to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are targeting Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku is facing opposition from Inter Milan, the team he played for last season, due to sneak negotiations with Juventus. Juventus demanded $44 million and Lukaku to sell Dusan Vlahovic, but Chelsea only accepted half of it. Meanwhile, the "Old Lady" fans themselves also objected to the presence of the Belgian striker. On August 10, after the 100th anniversary of the Agnelli family leading Juventus, the fans repeatedly chanted: "We don't need Lukaku". The group of Curva Sud fans even wrote a banner: "Lukaku, stay at Inter. We have a second goalkeeper".

If he cannot find a new club in Europe, Lukaku may have to go to Saudi Arabia. Al Hilal club is offering $ 63 million with a large salary to convince Chelsea and the Belgian striker.
