Bayern Munich is doing their part of the homework, but so is Thomas Tuchel. The German giants are extensively looking to add more quality players to the club in order to avoid the stressful situation from the end of the last season, when they became champions in the last round only due to the fact that Dortmund failed to win at home to Mainz (2-2). And among all transfer targets, one stands out – an old school striker. There are not so many of them on the transfer market, at least not many of them ready to play in the top club like Bayern, so basically it’s only Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane. And while the Bavarians executives are working on a deal with Tottenham, their coach is making house calls to the player. 🚨 BREAKING: Thomas Tuchel has personally met Harry Kane at his home in London to discuss a move to Bayern Munich. Kane told Tuchel he would like to win the Champions League at Bayern.

Interest in Osimhen was genuine, but since the transfer market exploded with prices, his 180 million price tag was unacceptable. So the Bavarians turned to Harry Kane. His price is lower, but it doesn’t mean it’s easier, since director Daniel Levy is on the opposite side, and he is notoriously famous for being a hard negotiator. Bayern submitted the first offer of around 70 million euros last week, but that was swiftly rejected. Bundesliga fixtures announced, the first Klassiker scheduled for NovemberBut the seed had been sown back in May, when Tuchel and now ex sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic came to London. They visited their inicial target – Declan Rice, but used the opportunity to meet Harry Kane. Due to secrecy, the meeting was held in his house, as per ‘Bild’. During the conversation, the England international is said to have clearly assured the Bayern coach that he was willing to move to Munich. The pair exchanged telephone numbers and are now texting each other, which is also good sign for Munich.If Kane is the new Lewandowski – then all others must step asideBut, the problem of fee remains. Daniel Levy will probably do whatever possible to keep Kane and extend his contract which runs out next season, so the transfer could potentially drag on until September 1st, but Bayern will try to prevent that scenario.##NAJAVA_MECA_7353141##
