Transfer: Bayern Munich move to swoop Man United’s defensive target
FootballBayern Munich Fans Snub Victor Osimhen in Favour of Harry Kane As Striker Replacement
- Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane
- Spurs are said to have rejected a verbal offer of £60m from the Bundesliga giants
- Bayern fans recently confirmed their preference for a striker through an online poll
Bayern Munich fans have made their stance clear on the choice of striker they deem fit to fill the void left by the departure of Robert Lewandowski.
The Bavarians are believed to be keen on Harry Kane but have reportedly had a verbal offer of £60 million plus add-ons rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs do not seem willing to sell their striker - who has one year remaining on his contract - but Bayern Munich appear ready to test the club's resolve.
A recent online poll conducted by Kicker has shown Bayern Munich fans would prefer to see the Bundesliga champion sign Kane over any other striker this summer.
Bayern Munich fans pick Kane
The poll, which saw two hundred and forty-two thousand fans (242.8K) vote, showed that 34% agreed with the club's apparent preference for the Tottenham star.
He was well ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani (18%), Napoli's Victor Osimhen (16%), Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic (13%) and Werder Bremen's Niclas Füllkrug (11%).
Per SkySports, Bayern reportedly made an opening offer of €70mil plus bonuses to Spurs for Kane, which was rebuffed. However, the Bavarians are believed to be planning another offer for the English striker.
With 12 months remaining on his current deal, it has been widely reported the Premier League side are unlikely to accept anything less than €100mil for their lynchpin, who scored 30 goals in 38 EPL games last season.
Regarding the future of Napoli’s Osimhen, the Serie A champions remain hopeful the Nigerian forward will sign a contract extension with the club.
Man Utd could pull out of Kane's alternative deal due to asking price
FootballNothing much has come of Bayern’s apparent interest in Vlahovic, while Kolo Muani could remain at Eintracht Frankfurt beyond the summer transfer window.
Madrid: best option for Kane?
In related news, Sports Brief reported that Real Madrid remains the most plausible transfer destination for Spurs' Kane should he move on from Spurs.
The striker, who could run down his current contract if he is not sold, has been touted to be the best fit to fill the void left by Karim Benzema's departure.
