In a groundbreaking football transfer, English ace striker Harry Kane is set to join the Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, after receiving the green light from Tottenham Hotspur and Daniel Levy. Kane, 30, is departing for Germany today, where he is slated to undergo medical evaluations and ink a four-year contract with the German giants.
Upon joining Bayern, the prolific forward is anticipated to don the No. 9 jersey, following his recent agreement to unite with the Bundesliga titleholders.
Earlier reports highlighted that Tottenham agreed to a mammoth offer, surpassing €100million (£86.4m, $110m) from Bayern for Kane. With the Premier League season about to kick off, the England skipper was keen to have clarity regarding his future, especially as Tottenham is gearing up for their match against Brentford this Sunday.
While Kane has a deep-seated connection with Tottenham, his childhood club, and was relishing his time under the stewardship of new manager Ange Postecoglou, the allure of a fresh challenge with Bayern Munich was irresistible.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Kane was approaching the end of his contract, with only 12 months remaining. Tottenham's attempts to secure their top scorer with an extended deal met with a stalemate. This impasse propelled Tottenham to make the monumental choice of parting with their star player now, rather than risk losing him without a fee in the upcoming summer.
