Harry Kane ‘tempted’ by Bayern Munich transfer with Tottenham star open to move in future as contract runs down
TOTTENHAM striker Harry Kane is reportedly “tempted” by the prospect of a transfer to Bayern Munich.
Kane, 29, was linked with a move to Germany throughout the summer window, but Spurs refused to sell him.
Meanwhile, Bayern have been seeking a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who forced a move to Barcelona in July.
Club chief Oliver Kahn has already confirmed that Kane is the priority target.
Although a move did not materialise before deadline day, the German giants are still eager to lure him to the Allianz Arena.
And according to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenburg, Bayern Munich are already in talks with Kane’s representatives over a potential transfer NEXT summer.

Plettenburg said: “I am totally convinced Harry Kane will become a very, very hot topic at Bayern Munich for the next transfer window.
“It depends on the striker’s performance this year. Bayern bosses have told them ‘let’s see what happens. We have Mane. We have Coman, Sane, Gnabry and so on’.
“But if they don’t work and they will miss that number nine, then I told you, Bayern Munich is a number nine club. Harry Kane will become very hot.
“There was definitely contact between the Bayern responsibles and Charlie Kane, the brother of Harry Kane. We hear it confirmed that Harry Kane can really, really imagine joining Bayern.

“It’s too early to say he will do this. It depends on the situation with Tottenham. Nobody could believe Sadio Mane would make that step from the Premier League to Bayern, so why Harry Kane shouldn’t join him?”
Kane has less than two years remaining on his current contract with Tottenham, so if club chiefs cannot tie him down to a new deal they risk losing him for nothing in 2024 if he isn’t sold next summer.
The England skipper is one of the most sought-after strikers in world football.
In 393 appearances for Tottenham he’s scored 253 goals and assisted 59.
He is also one of England’s all-time top goalscorers.
