  • Clubs interested: Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur
  • Player: Harry Kane, Bayern Munich forward
  • Valuation: Around £51m (Transfermarkt)

  • Possible exit routes: Premier League (Man Utd, Tottenham) or La Liga

Deal details

Kane is valued at around £51m by Transfermarkt, and his existing Bayern contract is set to expire at the end of this season. Bayern Munich are confident of tying him down to a fresh contract and ideally want to finalise the deal before the end of this year.

If Kane decides not to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena, he would be open to moving to La Liga. Barcelona are planning to buy a new striker next year and are open to signing Kane if he becomes available, having failed to sign Julian Alvarez this summer. Real Madrid hold a long-standing interest in Kane, but having already got Kylian Mbappe, Los Blancos are unlikely to make a move.

Manchester United are open to signing a new striker and Kane is on their radar, while Tottenham are ready to re-sign their former player. The report states that Kane would be open to a move to La Liga if he does not extend at Bayern.

Why Man Utd and Tottenham are in the market for a striker

Manchester United finished third in the Premier League last season and revamped their engine room this summer by purchasing Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba from Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively. However, they have endured a dire start to this season, accumulating four points from as many Premier League matches and languishing 13th in the table.

Despite already having Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee, United are open to signing a new striker, with Kane on their radar. A proven Premier League goalscorer of Kane's calibre would address their attacking issues — if a deal can be done.

Tottenham have decided to reinforce the striker position by purchasing Omar Marmoush this summer, but he is not a natural striker and prefers to play in a withdrawn role. So, it appears the North London club are considering signing a new striker next year, and Kane is one of the best forwards in the world who knows the Premier League very well.

What happens next

Kane's future is likely to be resolved by the end of 2026, when Bayern hope to finalise a new contract. If he does not extend, Barcelona, Manchester United and Tottenham could all make a move in January or next summer.
