      Honestly I don’t know when this whole Harry Kane transfer saga will end as well as it’s been going on every summer and every time it seems like he’ll finally get a move away from Tottenham he ends up staying and it does look like things could be different this time around depending on how he and his agent play the cards when it comes to his future. He should be in a very strong position to get a move away from Tottenham once and for all because he has a year left on his contract and has shown no interest in extending his contract with the club and that means he’ll most likely be leaving on a free next summer. There’s every chance that he doesn’t get a move this summer he’ll join Bayern Munich next summer assuming they’re able to wait 12 months for him to be available for free and that could be difficult because Bayern Munich are one of the clubs in need of a number 9 but since it looks likely that Harry Kane won’t join this summer, they have to look at a striker that they can afford and where money won’t be a problem in their pursuit for a number 9.

      I think its pretty obvious what happens next.
      Kane stays this year.
      Has his best season ever.
      If spurs somehow manage to scrape into the top 4 i think he stays. If they finish outside the european places he goes to united .
      Huge signing on fee, biggest club in the world, and the chance to overtake shearer's record in the prem.
      He fits in perfectly at united, already knows a number of the players, and deserves to put his name next to the likes of Van Persie, Cantona, Cole, Yorke, Hughes, Van Nistelrooy.
      He'll become a legend at 2 clubs.

      Eventually Harry Kane has to really decide his future at Tottenham there’s every feeling that this transfer saga will be dragged on for the entire season if he doesn’t get his move this summer and if they keep him we know he won’t stay but that small silver lining for them is if they show signs of improvement under the new manager maybe just maybe Harry Kane extends his contract beyond 2024 but those chances are slim but considering how things are going right now in the transfer market what if he remains at Tottenham and is stuck there for a while. Real Madrid were interested in signing him due to the void that’s needed to be filled in that striker position following the departure of Karim Benzema and wanted Harry Kane but now that they have a chance to sign Kylian Mbappe no matter what happens, he’s not going there, Manchester United have been linked with him for months and could still get him but now have signed Rasmus Hojlund and assuming he does well since he’s a long term player for their project it’s 50/50 whether he goes there or not, PSG will sign Goncalo Ramos, Bayern Munich have wanted him for 12 months and assuming they sign an alternative option for the striker role, the door for Harry Kane to join could be shut. One of his only options could be to stay with Tottenham and there’s a 50/50 chance about this staying with Tottenham or potentially leaving to join Bayern Munich for around 100 million or on a free next year. This saga needs to be sorted out because there has been so many twists and turns and very soon whether it’s this summer or in the coming months Harry Kane seriously needs to decide his future because we keep hearing the rumor mill about him getting a move elsewhere but after September 1 nothing happens and it’s been the exact same story every single summer for Harry Kane at Tottenham.

      Kane has no interest in renewing his contract, so I think think he kinda has to leave the EPL because he's not joining an other team in the prem like united. He is too loyal to go to a rival club and even if he wanted to levy wouldn't let him. I think if Bayern somehow don't get Kane, then they will have a plan B. They are not going another season without a striker it's now or never. That's why they put a deadline, because they need to know as soon as possible if he's coming to Bayern or staying so they can move on to other options.

      That idiotic so called Shaerer record is as irrelevant as Shaerer. Literally nobody ever mentions Alan Shaerer when asked about great strikers in history. He will never be a Gerd Müller….who won Champions league titles and World Cups. But a record will eventually be beaten anyway. Titles remain forever. Harry Kane can win the Champions league with this Bayern team. And he can become a legend in TWO cultures/countries. I think that beats any so called record.

      Fergie gave a whole masterclass on what it means to deal with Levy in his book. Pep couldnt buy Kane. Now Bayern can get their own lesson in what it means to buy a top class spurs player. The only team that knows how to do it without much fuss is Madrid.

      Put a deadline on the transfer windows….Summer(July 31st) Winter(January 31st) if a team is interested in a player allow 3 offers between teams that way the transfer windows are not taken up by endless chasing of players that teams don't or won't sell.

      Spuds came 8th last season with Kane. How bad can it be without Kane this season and gained $100m and play Richarlison as the main man rather than losing Kane for free next summer??? Levy is just trying to get as much as he can from this deal!

      Harry Kane is one of my fav no 9! Hes the closest thing I have seen to Benzema! He is a no 9 but drops down and builds up the play with the wingers almost like a 10! Ofc Benzema is an all-time great but I wish Kane moved to a better team sooner! Even now he can move to Bayern and retire as a legend! So Kane MOVE NOW!
