Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich have reached a preliminary agreement for the transfer of England international striker Harry Kane, according to The Athletic. Kane, who has one year left on his contract with Spurs, is the club’s all-time leading scorer with 280 goals. He has been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City in the past, but Tottenham was reluctant to sell him to domestic rivals. However, Kane will be a free agent next year if he doesn’t move this summer.
Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy rejected several bids from Bayern earlier this summer, but a finalized agreement was reached on Thursday. Kane’s decision reportedly led him to choose Bayern, as they have a strong tradition of winning major trophies in Germany and Europe. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou wanted to keep Kane, but the player’s desire for success at both the club and international level pushed him towards the move.
Bayern Munich, now led by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, has a rich history of success, with 33 Bundesliga titles, 6 UEFA Champions League titles, and 20 DFB Pokal titles. They have been German champions for 11 consecutive seasons. Kane, a three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, hopes to continue his impressive goal-scoring record and potentially break Alan Shearer’s record tally of 260 league goals. He is also England’s leading scorer with 58 goals.

Bayern has been searching for a replacement for prolific striker Robert Lewandowski since his departure, and Kane’s arrival could fill that void. As he turns 30, Kane is hungry for major silverware and believes Bayern can provide him with the platform to achieve his goals.
