Thomas Tuchel is reportedly hoping he can persuade Harry Kane to move to Bayern Munich, but Tottenham have already rejected the Bundesliga champions' £60m offer for the England captain.
Kane is a man in demand, with Manchester United also reportedly interested. The Red Devils are wary of the price tag that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could demand, with reports suggesting he could ask for in excess of £100m. Bayern, however, have tested the waters with a lower bid of €70m and are hoping that the possibility of Kane moving abroad could tempt Tottenham into cashing in.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have already rejected the offer out of hand and have no intention of selling the striker for such a low price. Other reports suggest that Tottenham have yet to receive a formal offer, but would immediately reject it if and when they do.
Kane is also understandably keen to stay in England, as he looks to break Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League scoring record. He has already become the England's all-time top scorer and now needs just 48 more goals to claim the record outright. He could realistically look to achieve this in the next two seasons after bagging 30 goals last term.
Tuchel will be hoping he can persuade Kane to move to Bavaria, telling him that they can win the Champions League together. He is something of an expert in Europe, having made the final with PSG in 2020, winning it with Chelsea a year later and giving Manchester City the biggest test of their treble-winning campaign last season.
Unfortunately for Tuchel and Bayern, his charm offensives have not worked too well with other targets this summer. He spoke to Declan Rice about moving to Bavaria but the midfielder chose to stay in the Premier League, while Mason Mount is also reluctant to leave England.
Kane, who has a young family and a fourth child on the way, seems unlikely to move to Germany at this stage of his career. With Spurs willing to resist offers this summer, the striker knows he will have his pick of clubs to join on a free transfer next year.
