Furious Levy will ‘let Bayern bleed before selling Kane after they agreed personal terms for transfer behind his back’
DANIEL LEVY is reportedly fuming with Bayern Munich for talking to Harry Kane behind his back – and wants to make them pay.
According to reports in Germany, the Tottenham chairman wants to “really let the Bundesliga side bleed” before he sells his star striker.
Bild have reported that Levy has made his disapproval of Bayern’s tactics known to his “circle of friends”.
To Levy’s disapproval, Kane, 29, is believed to have agreed personal terms with the German outfit.
It is also suggested that manager Thomas Tuchel has met with Kane and talked about winning the Champions League.
Bayern have seen a bid of £60million rejected for the England international.
And the report claims that if the club were to convince Spurs to sell this summer, then they would have to offer much more.
Bild states that Bayern will have to offer upwards of £100m to seal a move.
Kane is in the last year of his contract in North London, and clubs may not want to pay that fee for a player who will be 30 and a free agent next summer.
The report also suggests that Levy will block a move to Bayern due to what he deems the club’s “transfer misconduct”.

In this case Bayern could turn their attention to Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
Former Bayern technical director Michael Reschke recently told Confidential that Kane should be the club’s priority signing this summer.
He said: “Kane is one of the top three number nines in the world with Haaland and Mbappe.
“If he joins Bayern he gives them a much greater chance of winning the Champions League.
“That is the reason Bayern are fighting for him. Bayern can’t compete in bidding wars for the top players but they are still alluring to some if they show conviction.”
However, despite the prospect of him being able to leave for nothing next summer, Tottenham have now been tipped to hang on to their talisman at least until January.
Former West Ham Hammers ace Frank McAvennie has made a wild claim they will look to flog him for a bargain price.
He said: “If he stays they will probably want to sell him for £10m in January or something just to get something back for him.
“If somebody is willing to pay £80m or £90m [this summer] for a nearly 30-year-old striker, I would bite the hand off them.”
And Tottenham and United legend Teddy Sheringham believes Kane would turn the Red Devils into a different animal if he signed.
He said: “If Harry Kane were to join United, then of course it would make them a better team and would bridge that gap between where they are at the moment and competing for the Premier League title next season.
“United are close – they’ve already won the League Cup. If you add Harry Kane to that team, suddenly it starts to look like a different animal.”
