Tottenham and Bayern Munich reach agreement on $110 million Harry Kane deal, despite reports suggesting the Spurs star is leaning towards staying.

Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich have reached a deal in principle for the transfer of England international striker Harry Kane. The agreement is valued at over $110 million, according to The Athletic. Kane, who has one year left on his contract with Spurs, now must decide whether or not to join the German giants. Reports suggest that he is leaning towards staying in London.

Kane, who is already Tottenham’s all-time top scorer with 280 goals, has been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City in recent years. The speculation around Kane’s future intensified as Spurs’ performance in UEFA club competitions declined.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had rejected several bids from Bayern, as the club was reluctant to lose their star player to domestic rivals. However, with Kane becoming a free agent next year, the agreement was eventually reached. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou wanted to keep Kane on the team and even played him in a recent friendly match against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Kane, a three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, has scored 213 league goals and is closing in on breaking Alan Shearer’s record tally. As England’s leading scorer with 58 goals, Kane is determined to achieve major success with both club and country. Bayern, with their rich history of winning in Germany and in Europe, could provide a platform for Kane’s ambitions.

Bayern Munich, now led by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, has an impressive record with 33 Bundesliga titles and is the 11-time consecutive defending German champion. With six UEFA Champions League titles and 20 DFB Pokal titles, Bayern’s track record speaks strongly to Kane’s desire for success. However, the club has yet to find a replacement for prolific striker Robert Lewandowski since his departure.
