Harry Kane: England striker expects to stay at Tottenham if he is not sold before Premier League opener | Transfer Centre News

Harry Kane expects to stay at Tottenham if he is not sold before their Premier League opener at Brentford on Sunday August 13, live on Sky Sports.

Sky Sports News’ chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol said: “I think he feels, out of respect for Tottenham, and also the new manager Ange Postecoglou, it would be unfair for him to leave once the season has started.

“It’s almost a deadline of sorting out Kane’s future by the first game of the season, otherwise he stays.

“As far as Spurs are concerned, there’s only one deadline that matters and that is Transfer Deadline Day on September 1.

“If Bayern Munich want to sign Kane, they’ve got to offer what Spurs think he’s worth, which is £100m. So far, their best offer has been about £81m.

“As far as Bayern Munich are concerned, all parties are confident that a deal will be done with a five-year contract and Kane will become the club’s top earner.”

Sky in Germany are reporting that although the total package Bayern are currently offering for the England captain has yet to increase, they plan to improve on the existing figure – which would already represent the largest transfer in the club’s history.

Bayern plan to offer Kane a five-year contract, taking him almost up to his 35th birthday. He would also become the club’s top earner.

There are currently no new meetings scheduled with Spurs after representatives from the two clubs met in London earlier in the week, but all sides are now confident of a deal being struck.

Members of Spurs and Bayern’s hierarchy discussed Kane over lunch in the capital on Monday, with talks continuing into the afternoon before the visiting officials returned to Germany in the evening.
