Fabrizio Romano sheds light on Spurs’ stance following Bayern Munich’s new Harry Kane bid
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have made it very clear that Harry Kane is not for sale after Bayern Munich launched a second offer for the striker.
On Sunday, we relayed an update from Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg in which the journalist revealed that Bayern had launched an offer of €80m (£68.3m) plus add-ons for Kane after their initial €70m (£59.8m) had been turned down by Spurs.
He added that the England captain is keen on making the switch to the Allianz Arena this summer.
This has now also been backed up by Romano, who explained that the North London club are also likely to reject Bayern’s latest bid.
The Italian explained that Daniel Levy hopes to hang on to his talisman and that the Bavarians would have to present a much higher offer to tempt the Tottenham chairman into selling the 29-year-old.
Tottenham hope to keep Harry Kane
Romano also remarked that Thomas Tuchel’s men remain convinced of Kane’s desire to make the switch to Germany.
The journalist told CaughtOffside: “An important update from Tottenham – they’ve been approached again by Bayern Munich for Harry Kane. Some sources say it was a verbal bid, some say it was an official bid, so it’s difficult to clarify the situation precisely, especially when Tottenham’s stance is clear, that they don’t want to sell the player.
“But Bayern have made a new bid after their first offer was rejected, as I said previously – they have no desire to give up. They submitted a new bid of €80m plus add-ons. The message from Tottenham remains very clear – it is very unlikely that they will accept this, that is the feeling of those close to the board and to Daniel Levy.
“As things stand, there’s no indication about an asking price or valuation from Spurs, it’s very clear that Levy still hopes to keep Kane but all sources believe €80m won’t be enough to sign the England striker. Bayern have to do better than this to make it happen.
“From Bayern’s end, they remain convinced that Kane is prepared to make this move, but again it really depends on Daniel Levy and at the moment there is no green light. Kane will also speak to new manager Ange Postecoglou in the next days. Tottenham have received no communication yet from Kane over his future or his plans, so these talks will be crucial.”

We will have a lot more clarity on Kane’s future once the striker has a chat with Ange Postecoglou this week. There is no indication that the 29-year-old is about to put in a transfer request or force a move, which is why he is likely to stay put unless Bayern Munich are willing to offer close to £100m.
