Harry Kane, the star striker for Tottenham Hotspur, is the subject of intensive discussions after Bayern Munich allegedly made their final bid for him. It appears that Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, now has more time to think about his next action after initially having a short window to reply to the offer.
According to The Daily Mail, Bayern has made a bid of £86.24 million plus add-ons and is hoping to hear from Levy by Saturday morning. The German club has already agreed to pay Kane a substantial weekly wage of £400,000 and is anxious to have him in their lineup for the German Super Cup match against RB Leipzig.
To prevent the situation from weighing heavily on the players going into their season opener against Brentford, Harry Kane established a timetable of his own. However, former Tottenham striker Gary Lineker stated his concern for Ange Postecoglu's team regardless of whether Kane stayed or left, hinting that the scenario could have an impact on the group's performance in the future season.
Gary Linker makes a huge statement about Harry Kane’s situation
Talking to the PA news agency, the English legend stated:
“I'm concerned for Spurs either way, whatever happens with Harry,"
“I have been concerned about them for a while, I see where they ended last season and they are in the worst position they had been in for quite some time, the new manager [Postecoglou] could make a difference, but Harry, the goals he scores, take that away from any team it would be hugely difficult. It is time to rebuild for Tottenham - rebuild, rethink, re-plan.”
According to Linker, Tottenham must make a crucial choice about Bayern Munich's offer to purchase Harry Kane. Rejecting the offer could result in losing him for free with only a year remaining on his contract. Mehdi Taremi and Alejo Valiz could join Richarlison and Son Heung-min as possible options that might step in if Kane leaves.
