Wait for all the media to say how kane only cost £10m more than hojlund. If anyone now thinks we could have got kane for even £100m they are kidding themselves. Even the mighty Bayern are being forced to pay £100m+, and are still negotiating. Tbf to levy they are a week befor the pl starts and his choices for a new striker a fricking thin at this point.
I've not seen any reports say they offered that much

German reports say our latest offer is 93 million euros base + bonuses up to around 20 million euros.
So we would be very close to 100 million pounds.

Plus €28m wages per season or £25m per year so the rumours of £500k per week are indeed true, tbf to Kaine, he problem thinks he’s been underpaid for best part of decade so this contract has to be huge.

Are you happy with the move and offer? I think he’ll be great for you guys to be honest, he should be good for a couple years as well

Problem is kane is too much of a pussy to put in an official transfer request, over fears of upsetting the spurs fanbase and ruining his standing with them. Cant speak for spurs fans but surely getting £100mil for your 30 year old striker is better than him leaving on a free?

Also if you put in an official transfer request, you forefit "loyalty" bonuses due etc.

A part of me wants Bayern to very publicly pull out of this deal citing Levy as being impossible to negotiate with. At this point he must be doing more harm than good to Spurs' reputation in the transfer market. They're obviously already known to be difficult to deal with but a club the stature of Bayern calling that egomaniac out over this Kane saga would ruin their ability to attract quality players. Anyone that goes there knows they're never leaving.

Levy is infamous and notorious already - I don't think Bayern calling him out would make a blind bit of difference.

Players go to Spurs with the belief things will be different for them despite what's gone on in the past. There's also the fact Spurs are a certain calibre of club who, by name alone, are an enticing prospect for a fair amount of the footballing world; in regards to the elite prospects, they haven't looked Spurs' way in years, so this Levy stuff is neither here nor there - special talents simply don't look Spurs' way, opting for clubs whose business model actually caters for developing and moving them on to bigger clubs succinctly.

Levy is an island in a very unique position.

I think going forward, any player signing for Spurs would be stupid not to demand a reasonable release clause in their contract.

Fabrizio Romano on Harry Kane: “The bosses at Bayern wanted an answer to their new bid by midnight on Friday, but it never came, which has left the people in Munich not happy with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. They remain confident of getting a deal done and will insist on bringing Kane to Germany. The conversation remains ongoing and Bayern feel it can be handled over the weekend, but they are still waiting for Daniel Levy’s answer regarding the bid. At the moment, the reality is that the deal is still on but of course, it’s one to follow hour by hour.

=> This guy - Levy - is a pain in the ass. I'd say even a bit unprofessional.

Think he will move, Spurs would be dumb not to take the offer. It is a good one.

They will look for replacements and haggle a bit on the conditions before agreeing.

The offer is sincerely good. Question is if Kane is into it or not?

It also begs the question, if you’re a player with any ambition why would you go to spurs when you have a chairman like Levy who has never won anything. Levy is a fool and none of this enhances his reputation. The smart footballing person would sell and rebuild the squad not desperately beg a player who’s never been interested in extending his contract.

Did the club confirm that or just various rumors?
Reported by numerous sources both in london and munich. Reading between the lines, every insider seems to think the deal is going to happen.

"Kickers" Georg Holzner says Levy delays the negotiations to win time to seal as many incoming deals as possible. Public knowledge off him having 100mio more in his chest would weaken his position. Both teams enter the official season end of next week, o expect it to be official until then.

Don't know why he just doesn't accept now

We all love United
Reminds me of United and Dortmund on the ‘deadlines‘ over Sancho the year when we tried to sign him. Is this a German thing, them and their silly deadlines? :lol:

It's not the transfer fee that's the problem, it's Kane's wages.

If I'm Kane I actually hate Daniel Levy, he's given amazing service to Tottenham and they've never delivered. He's had his contracts and he's doing what's his right, which is running his last year down.

Levy knows full well he's going regardless, why be so controlling, why not let the last go for 70-80 million and use that money towards a top level striker. Instead he's potentially going to lose him for nothing.

It's just madness.

How much truth in those wage demands?
People have discussed this before - Bayern are not exactly chomping to pay those wages , but it isn't outside of their usual practice in recent years re. their top category of player (Lewa, Muller, Neuer, Mane, maybe Kimmich ). It's always been about containing how much they have to pay upfront in transfer fees so they, presumably, don't get seen as easy marks, as well as probably other accounting-based reasons (they've definitely got the cash from prize, commercial revenue, domming the bundesliga etc). They're very parsimonious in that regard compared with barca and the rest.

In this case, however, they need a dead cert no.9 post-Lewa to really push for latter stages of the CL and keep Bundesliga fight less stressful etc, so they might just pay something close to the full 100. Wages i'm 99% sure won't be that much of an issue.

The arrogance here lies with levy. He sees that as a way to flex his muscles, deadlines? I’ll ignore that to show I’m in charge.. surely it’s better for his club the sooner unless the rumours is he’s trying to sign replacements before the money comes in, but how stupid does he think other clubs are? They know it’s coming in and beyond that spurs are known to have spending power

Levy was supposedly told by Kane's camp that Kane would sign a new deal if no move materialises. He really has no reason to accept any bid. Putting a deadline on a €100M bid is pointless - if they can keep Kane they obviously choose that every day of the week.

Levy is a knob but Bayern are a a bunch of cnuts, they constantly brazenly tap up players with execs at the club talking openly about other clubs players, and think the whole world should bend over for them and do what they’re want just because the rest of their own league does.

Who knows but reportedly Spurs were willing to offer 20m£ a year / 400k a week... Surely he can easily pretend somewhere in that range (18-25m€) and would be a mark to accept less even playing up the good employee modesty to its maximum. That seems consistent with what we know in general about top forwards emoluments.

Ultimatums sound really dumb in that context, especially so if you're not following up on them. I get that Bayern may feel frustrated by the whole process but if they're not walking off after setting a deadline -taking reports at face value- they appear more desperate than anything. There's not a lot of other options they can realistically say they're pursuing (doubly so with Kolo Muani being in supposedly good talks with PSG) or fall back on. I guess Osimhen is still there ? Not sure you'd get him at a lower fee (even if lower wages in the long run).
