Harry Kane transfer talks intensify as Bayern Munich chiefs fly into London for showdown with Tottenham’s Daniel Levy
BAYERN MUNICH chiefs tonight jetted into London to try to sign Harry Kane.
The German giants sent a delegation to meet Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in a central London hotel in the hope of landing the England captain.
Bayern, who had wanted to do a £60million deal, believe Kane wants a move to Germanywith only one year left on his deal.
Yet although Levy would listen to offers north of £100m, he previously insisted to Real Madrid that the club’s star player is not for sale.
Kane is set to be on the plane to Australia tomorrow for the start of Spurs’ pre-season tour with the team facing West Ham in Perth on Tuesday.
The striker is out of contract at the end of this season and it has been reported in Germany that Bayern made a bid last week.
Spurs denied a bid had been received and are still not entertaining the thought of their prized asset leaving this summer.
He is currently on a basic wage of £200,000-a-week although that increases to up to £300,000-a-week with bonuses.
Yet Bayern have the cash to comfortably beat that amount and Spurs have a new deal ready to go if Kane wants to sign it.
Manager Thomas Tuchel is a huge fan of Kane and tried to sign him two years ago when Chelsea boss.
But Kane insisted there was no way he could consider joining one of the club’s London rivals.

He can leave for free in a year’s time and it is understood he was impressed with new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglu when the pair met for the first time this week.
