In a major football transfer, England and Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is on the verge of joining German champions Bayern Munich. Reports suggest that Kane has agreed to a lucrative four-year contract with Bayern Munich and is scheduled for a medical examination in Germany on Friday.
After prolonged negotiations, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement exceeding €100 million (£86.4 million) for the star striker’s move.
While initially showing inclination to remain in north London, Kane’s decision has shifted towards joining Bayern Munich, where he is expected to sign a four-year deal at the Allianz Arena, as reported by Eurosport.
Kane, who has been the target of Bayern Munich throughout the summer, has seen multiple offers rejected before the two clubs finally settled on a deal on Thursday.
The move comes ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League season-opening game against Brentford, and Kane expressed his desire for his future to be resolved before the match.
In his tenure at Tottenham, Kane has left an indelible mark, becoming the club’s all-time top scorer with an impressive record of 280 goals in 435 appearances. His Premier League performance is equally remarkable, with 213 goals in 320 games, placing him just 48 goals away from surpassing Alan Shearer’s record as the highest scorer in Premier League history.
As part of this transition, it is anticipated that Kane will don the No.9 shirt at Bayern Munich, a jersey that became available after Robert Lewandowski’s departure to Barcelona last year.
Kane’s imminent move to Bayern Munich signals a significant chapter in his football journey, one that has witnessed his rise to prominence since his debut for Tottenham in 2012.
