Tottenham standing firm on Harry Kane amid interest from Bayern Munich
Spurs were able to hold off advances from Manchester City to keep the England captain in 2021.
Tottenham have no intention of selling Harry Kane this summer, the PA news agency understands.
The club’s record goal-scorer is approaching the final 12 months of his contract and reports on Tuesday indicated Bayern Munich had bid 70million euros plus add-ons for the England captain.
PA understands Spurs have not received an official offer from the Bundesliga champions and any bid would be immediately rejected.
Kane subsequently stayed with his boyhood team and broke the club’s all-time scoring record in February with the winner against Pep Guardiola’s side.
It saw Kane move beyond Jimmy Greaves’ tally of 266 goals for Spurs, which had stood since 1970.
The next target in Kane’s sights is Alan Shearer’s record Premier League haul of 260 goals.
Discussions between Spurs and Kane’s camp over a new contract were set to be pushed back until the end of the 2022-23 campaign, but the club are yet to appoint a director of football and Kane’s own season only finished on June 19 following England commitments.
Since Fabio Paratici’s resignation in April, Tottenham’s chief scout Leonardo Gabbanini has taken a lead role on transfers and is working on a deal to bring Leicester midfielder James Maddison to the club, PA understands.
Maddison has long been a target for Spurs and they have held an interest in the playmaker since his time at Coventry.
Personal terms are not expected to be an issue but Spurs are yet to bid for the England international.
A move for Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is much closer after he was spotted at Stansted airport on Monday ahead of a proposed medical.
The Italian is expected to be confirmed as new Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou’s second signing this week.
