Bayern Munich sign England striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur | Football News

The move has been finalized on a four-year contract, as announced by the German club on Saturday.
Following extended negotiations between the two clubs, Bayern has secured the services of the 30-year-old striker until the year 2027.

Although the exact transfer fee has not been disclosed by Bayern, media reports have estimated the amount to be around 100 million euros ($109 million). If this figure holds true, it would mark a new Bundesliga record, surpassing the previous record of 80 million euros paid by Bayern to acquire Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid in 2019.

“Bayern have signed Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. The England striker signed a deal to June 30, 2027. He will play with number nine on his shirt,” the Bavarians said.
Kane joined Tottenham’s academy aged 11 before making his senior debut in 2011. He has spent most of his career at the north London club but had loan spells at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City.

Kane has scored a club record 280 goals for Spurs in over 430 appearances in all competitions and 58 times for his country in 84 games, making him England’s all-time leading marksman.
He is also the second-highest Premier League scorer of all time with 213 goals – 47 behind Alan Shearer.
While he failed to end Tottenham’s 15-year trophy drought during his time at the club, he was part of the team that reached the Champions League final in 2019. He also has runners-up medals from the League Cup in 2015 and 2021.

Kane had one year left on his contract, meaning Spurs were at risk of losing him on a free transfer next year.
He reportedly wanted to leave the club in 2021, when he was linked with a move to Manchester City.
