  • Harry Kane is set to enter the last year of his Tottenham Hotspur contract
  • The England forward has been linked with a move away from Spurs
  • Kane scored 30 goals in the Premier League last season

Tottenham Hotspur have denied receiving an opening bid from Bayern Munich for star striker, Harry Kane and have claimed that there is no intention of selling the forward this summer, according to reports.

Bayern Munich are yet to replace Robert Lewandowski, who departed for Barcelona last summer. They have since continued to keep tabs on England captain, Kane, who is about to enter the final year of the six-year contract he signed back in June 2018.

According to reports from 90min, Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on Kane’s situation, having seen Karim Benzema leave to join Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.

Manchester United are also interested in the striker, but have backed away from anything formal with the belief that Spurs will refuse to sell.

Paris Saint-Germain have additionally shown interest, with Spurs also expecting attention to come from big-spending fierce London rivals Chelsea.

Bayern’s bid for Harry Kane

German champions Bayern Munich are the first club to put forward a bid for Kane, who turns 30 next month. Reports from Talksport suggest it is a bid in the region of £60m, including add-ons, although Spurs have denied receiving a bid and are adamant that any such offer would be rejected anyway.

Crucially, from their perspective, chairman Daniel Levy does not want to sell and remains convinced he can persuade Kane to stay.

Indeed, the belief across Europe in recent months has been that Kane won’t be sold this summer, although Bayern are at least testing the waters with regard to that theory.

Kane has been informed that Spurs are not willing to entertain bids, despite being no closer to agreeing a new contract. But there remains a belief at the club that he could sign a fresh deal.

Kane was back to his best for Tottenham in 2022/23, scoring 30 Premier League goals to equal his best-ever league haul, with only a record-breaking campaign from Manchester City’s Erling Haaland denying the England captain a record-equalling fourth Golden Boot.

Madrid: Best option for Kane?

Sports Brief earlier reported that Real Madrid appears the most sensible transfer destination for Kane.

The Tottenham striker, who is set to run down his current contract if he is not sold, has been touted to be the best fit to fill the void created by the departure of Karim Benzema.
