Harry Kane’s Summer Transfer Saga: From Manchester United to Bayern Munich
Harry Kane, the England skipper, has made a sensational start to his career with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. However, it has been revealed that he initially had his heart set on a move to Manchester United. According to the Daily Mail, Kane was prepared to wait another year and join Manchester United on a free transfer before his summer move to Bayern Munich.
Erik ten Hag, the Bayern Munich manager, had made Kane his number one target to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure. However, negotiations with Daniel Levy and Tottenham Hotspur proved to be difficult. Eventually, Bayern Munich turned their attention to signing Danish youngster Rasmus Hojlund, effectively closing the door on Kane’s potential move to Old Trafford.
Despite the change in plans, Kane insists he has no regrets over his £100 million transfer to Bayern Munich. He has already scored four goals in four games for his new club and is set to make his Champions League debut against Manchester United at the Allianz Arena.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Kane expressed his excitement about joining Bayern Munich. He said, “Over the summer, I know there were talks between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern was a team I was really interested and excited by. There weren’t many other discussions when they came in and the deal got done. My focus is on here, Manchester United are a great club and a big club too, but I decided to come here and I’m glad I did.”
Kane also spoke about his desire to win silverware with Bayern Munich. He said, “The Champions League is a big goal of course, but I’m not solely focusing on that. I want to win all three competitions we’re in. We prepare for this like we would any other game. Of course, it’s the biggest competition in Europe and having the final at Wembley would be extra special, but that’s too far ahead. I’m not getting carried away. We just need to start positively tomorrow night.”
As Kane prepares to face his potential former club, Manchester United, he remains focused on the task at hand. He acknowledges that Manchester United are a dangerous team despite their current difficulties. Kane’s goal is to help Bayern Munich succeed in all competitions and make a strong impact in the Champions League.
