Bayern Munich chief meets Daniel Levy in London to discuss Harry Kane transfer

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has held talks with the CEO of Bayern Munich as speculation over the future of Harry Kane intensifies.

The club’s record goalscorer reported for pre-season training as normal this week, with new manager Ange Postecoglou admitting he would be holding face-to-face talks with Kane over his future. But despite having a £60 million bid for the 29-year-old rejected, the Bundesliga champions are pursuing with their chase.

Having failed to adequately replace Robert Lewandowski after his departure 12 months ago, Bayern bosses have charged manager Thomas Tuchel with signing a new striker. And the ex-Chelsea man has made Kane his prime target, with then England captain now in the final 12 months of his current deal.

And in a new twist, the Athletic are reporting that Jan-Christian Dreesen met Levy for a breakfast meeting in London on Thursday. No formal offer for the star was seemingly made though, and it is claimed the two figures did not settle on an agreed fee.

As it stands, Kane will board the plane with his Spurs teammates on Friday for their pre-season Asia-Pacific tour. Whilst down under, the north London side will take on West Ham in Perth, before playing Leicester in Thailand, and then Singapore outfit Lion City Sailors.

The player’s desire to win major trophies makes Bayern an attractive proposition, given their domestic dominance this past decade, that has included two Champions League wins. But Levy is still reportedly hopeful that Kane, who is bearing down on Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260 league goals, will sign a new deal.
