the soap opera between Bayern Munchen and Harry Kane is close to a conclusion. According to journalist David Ornstein of the The Athletico Tottenham accepted a proposal of 100 million euros (about 540 million at current prices) from the Germans for the striker.
The London club had already turned down three other attempts by Bayern for their captain, but decided to give up the last offer made. Kane only has one year left on his contract and will be able to sign with another team free of charge from January 2024.

Now it remains to be seen whether the 30-year-old will actually sign for the defending German champions. Kane has already expressed his desire to leave Spurs, but has yet to settle salary bases with Bayern. The club offers 25 million pounds (about R$ 156 million) per season.
Other teams had already shown interest in the striker in this window. Kane was interested in continuing to play in England, but Tottenham were unwilling to sell him to a direct competitor. In addition to Bayern, Real Madrid also probed the number 10.
In his last appearance for the English, Kane scored four times in the 5-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in a friendly. The England national team athlete had already been left out of the Joan Gamper Trophy dispute, in which Tottenham was beaten 4-2 by Barcelona.
