Harry Kane signs for Bayern Munich

The transfer saga of the summer has finally come to a conclusion with the news that England captain Harry Kane has ended his Tottenham career - for now - by signing a four year contract with German champions Bayern Munich.

He is believed to have signed in time to be eligible for Bayern's German Super Cup game against RB Leipzig later today.

The fee is said to be around £95m but the timing of the departure has angered Tottenham fans with the club losing their all-time record goalscorer just one day before their Premier League curtain raiser against Brentford.

In a social media post Kane said he felt it was the right time to leave Tottenham but told the club's fans, "you will always be in my heart."

On the back of the news, Tottenham have drifted out to 7/24.50 (from 11/43.75) to record a Top 4 Finish this season.

Ange says Kane is signing for Bayern

Ange Postecoglou told reporters Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich was imminent on Friday afternoon.

The Tottenham boss was speaking ahead of Spurs' trip to Brentford on Sunday.

He gave the impression that he had always expected Kane to leave Tottenham this summer and said the forward had "made up his mind" by the time the Australian took over.

Spurs are 5.69/2 to finish in the Premier League's top for this season and 2.789/5 for the top six as they prepare for life without their all-time leading goalscorer.

Kane to have medical at Bayern

Betting was suspended on Harry Kane's future amid reports that the England captain will undergo a medical at Bayern Munich.

Tottenham accepted a €100m bid from the German champions yesterday and Kane spent the making up his mind.

He went odds-on to make the move and was 2/13.00 to stay in north London but reports last night inidcated that he was minded to remain at the club he joined in 2004.

The market fluctuated with the uncertainty reflect in the Betfair market

On Friday morning it emerged that Kane was going to have a medical at Bayern after Spurs gave him permission to travel to Germany.

As long as there are no unexpected issues he will be ready to play for Bayern at the start of the Bundesliga season next weekend. They are 7/18.00 to win the Champions League in 2023/24.

Spurs, meanwhile, must begin life without their talisman as they head to Brentford for their first match of the new Premier League season on Sunday.

Kane odds-on to sign for Bayern

Bayer Munich are 7/201.35 to sign Harry Kane after Spurs' decision to accept their offer for the England captain prompted Betfair to repoen the market on his future.

Betting was suspended earlier this week when it looked as if Kane was set to stay at Spurs for another season. That changed on Thursday with the news that they had accepted the Bundesliga champions' €100m bid.

Kane is 2/13.00 to stay at Tottenham beyond the current transfer window, as he contemplates the biggest decision of his career.

Betfair ambassador Dimitar Berbatov underlined the difficult choice Kane is facing when he gave his reaction in an exclusive for this site.

The ex-Spurs striker said: "It's down to Harry Kane to decide if he is going to stay or go. Oh my god, that's a tough decision."

Spurs accept Bayern Munich offer

Harry Kane's future is in his hands after Tottenham accepted a final offer of around €100m from Bayern Munich.

The England captain, who has one year left on his contract at Tottenham, had looked likely to stay but the Germans made a final bid and the Premier League club accepted it.

Spurs start their Premier League campaign at Brentford on Sunday and Kane has said he wants to have his future decided before then.

Tottenham are 4.94/1 on the Exchange to finish in the top four in 2023/24 but losing Kane would be a massive blow to their hopes and could throw new manager Ange Postecoglou's plans into disarray.

The next few hours will be crucial as Kane weighs up whether to leave Spurs, where he is the club's all-time record goalscorer, and move to the Bundesliga champions.

We will keep you posted with more news as we get it.

One more push for Harry?

Betfair have reopened the betting on Harry Kane's transfer this summer with the England captain currently 8/151.53 to stay at Spurs.

On Monday, Spurs rejected Bayern's latest bid for the striker which was said to be their final offering, though today it looks as if there may be some more action between the two clubs.

Talk about late drama - something Betfair ambassador Dimitar Berbatov predicted would happen having dealt with Daniel Levy himself. Read this thoughts on Kane's situation here.

Bayern Munich are now 13/82.63 to sign Kane this transfer window, having been as short as [1/5} to land him only last week!

Spurs begin their Premier League campaign on Sunday against Brentford, and should Kane play in that match, that could end the interest once and for all.

Spurs reject latest Bayern bid

Betfair have suspended all bets on Harry Kane following reports Spurs have rejected Bayern Munich's latest bid. Last week, Bayern said this was their final offering for the England captain as they awaited Spurs's decision.

The Athletic's David Ornstein has since tweeted that they are still £25m short of Spurs' valuation, which means the deal is said to now be dead.

Kane did captain, and score four goals in Spurs' most recent pre-season friendly on Sunday, and looked more than happy to be playing for Spurs once more.

From odds of 25/126.00 to move to Germany last month, cut all the way to odds-on at 1/71.14, Kane's price to stay at Spurs reached as high of 5/23.50.

His odds moved back in to 6/42.50 over the weekend, with Betfair now suspending betting on the market with it finally seemingly all over for Harry Kane and Bayern Munich.

Decision could be announced today

Harry Kane is 4/61.67 to sign for Bayer Munich and 6/42.50 to stay at Tottenham after reports that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will announce his decision on the England's captain's future today.

Bayern Munich made two offers, the last said to be 80m euros plus add-ons, to sign Kane but have so far been rebuffed by Spurs. The German champions have made a third and final offer and say they expect to hear today whether the Premier League club will sell.

If Levy accepts Bayern's bid then Kane is said to favour the move.

Kane has one year on his contract and has shown little interest in signing an extension, so Spurs may havehas to decide whether to sell their prize asset now or risk losing him for nothing in 12 months.

It's a difficult dilemma for Spurs and a big distraction as Ange Postecoglou's men prepare to begin their season away to Brentford a week on Sunday.

It's been the transfer saga of the summer with Manchester United and Real Madrid both looking like Kane's most likely destination at different points. Through it all there has remained the possibilty that he will stay at Spurs. That appeared to be Levy's preference but is there have been reports of disagreements behind the scenes.

Will Kane end up staying at Spurs for another season or will England's captain ply his trade in the Bundesliga next season? Either way, the drama appears to be reaching its conclusion.

Small drift on Kane staying at Spurs

There has been a small shift in Harry Kane staying put at Spurs following the end of the transfer window, now priced at 7/42.75 - in from 9/43.25.

The England captain, who remains heavily odds-on for Bayern Munich at 1/21.50 was as short as 4/111.36 to make the move with both clubs meeting yesterday.

However, reports suggest the clubs remain apart in their valuation, with some outlets saying that it is 'Bayern or nowhere' for Kane come the end of the transfer window.

Should Bayern walk away from the deal, it sounds as if Kane will see out the remainder of his contract at Spurs, and be free to move on for nothing next summer.

PSG were 5/23.50 only last week, but their odds have drifted hugely to 16/117.00 with Manchester United now 11/112.00 following the impending signing of Rasmus Hojlund.

Bayern prepare new bid before meeting Levy

This could be a crucial week in the career of Harry Kane as Bayern Munich officials are belived to be preparing for a London summit with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

Kane is 4/111.36 to join the Bundesliga champions, so the odds have not moved in recent days, as punters sit tight and wait to see how the transfer saga of the summer unfolds in the coming hours and days.

The England captain is 5/23.50 to stay at Spurs, and he is the same price to join Paris Saint-Germain, but he is said to want the Bayern move over those options.

Football transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, who consistently has the inside track on the big moves, Tweeted this morning:

"Crucial hours for Harry Kane deal. Bayern officials are prepared for meeting in London with Daniel Levy as direct talks will take place with Tottenham."

He added that Bayern would increase their offer for Kane, who has one year left on his Tottenham contract, to 80m euros.

It has been reported elsewhere that Bayern could go as high as 100m if necessary and that they may be prepared to take negotiations to the wire on transfer deadline day.

Kane cut to join Bayern once more

Harry Kane's price to join Bayern Munich this summer has once again shortened on the Betfair Sportsbook - now at 4/111.36 to move to Germany.

He was odds-against just a week ago, but following numerous reports from Germany's media that Bayern are becoming increasingly confident of securing his services, his odds have shortened again.

Kane is now 5/23.50 to stick with Spurs for another season, the longest price we have seen on him staying in North London.

It really does look to be London or Munich for the England captain, though PSG remain 5/23.50 to swoop in, which they may well do should Kylian Mbappe move on over the next few weeks.

Mbappe is 8/111.73 to move to the Saudi Pro League following reports of a 258m bid from Al Hilal.

Kane to Bayern cut to 4/7 for Germany

Spurs striker Harry Kane has been cut once again to join Bayern Munich this summer, now 4/71.57 to move to Thomas Tuchel's side.

The England captain has been back in training for a couple of weeks now, with new boss Ange Postecoglou fairly coy on the situation.

The Harry Kane saga continues...

Reports suggest Daniel Levy must sell the striker if he cannot agree a new contract

Where will he end up?

-- Betfair (@Betfair) July 24, 2023

Reports have now emerged that if they cannot persuade Kane to sign a new deal, he must be sold this summer. The reports were strong enough for Manchester United to renew their interest in the forward.

The Red Devils are back into 9/110.00 to sign Kane before the window shuts in six weeks, after cooling their interest weeks ago. However, they still remain in for Atalanta's Rasmus Højlund - who is 4/111.36 to move to Old Trafford.

Harry Kane is out to 15/82.88 now to stay at Spurs beyond the transfer window, his longest price for a while.

Kane to Bayern odds-on after sustained support

The Betfair Sportsbook says that Harry Kane is more likely to be playing for Bayern Munich in the upcoming season than he is to be playing for his current club Tottenham.

The Spurs striker had been clipped from 6/42.50 on Saturday morning to Evens by the evening to join the German champions. But more support came on Sunday morning, prompting the Sportsbook to shorten him again to 7/10.

And because of the market move for Kane to join Bayern, his odds to still be a Tottenham player when the summer transfer window closes in early September have drifted to 5/42.25.

Last month: 25/1

Last week: 10/1

This morning: 6/4

Currently: EVS

We now believe there's a 50% chance Harry Kane will join Bayern Munich this summer.#THFC | #FCBayern pic.twitter.com/I4wfYEWW0L

-- Betfair (@Betfair) July 15, 2023

Kane's price to join Bayern has moved massively inside the space of a month, with 25/126.00 the price on offer in mid June, while you could still get 10/111.00 last week when it appeared that PSG could be his likely destination.

The French champions were cut from 16/117.00 to 7/18.00 to sign Kane after news broke that they could be interested in replacing Kylian Mbappe with the Spurs striker.

PSG remain third favourites, now at 6/17.00 to sign Kane, but it now appears that the door is wide open for the 29-year-old to move to Germany with reports that Bayern chiefs met Spurs chairman Daniel Levy last week to thrash out a deal.

Kane to PSG cut to 7/1 from 16/1

Could Paris Saint-Germain be the dark horses in the will-he-stay-or-will-he-go Harry Kane summer transer saga?

The odds on the French champions signing the England captain shortened to 7/18.00 from 16/117.00 amid speculation that they may try to buy him as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

The market move came after PSG director Leonardo said it was time for Mabppe to leave. The Frenchman is 4/91.44 to join Real Madrid.

His departure would leave a significant hole in the PSG attack and, while Kane is five years older than Mbappe, the Englishman is still one of the hottest attacking properties in world football.

Bayern Munich made a second bid for Kane totalling £80m, including add-ons, but PSG have the riches to meet Spurs' asking price of at least £100m, so may be better placed to get him.

Kane is still 4/61.67 to stay at Spurs and Ange Postecoglou reiterated his desire to keep the forward yesterday. He wil explain his vision for Spurs to Kane when the player returns from his holiday. Reports today said they could offer him a new contract worth £400k a week.

Bayern move odds-against despite second bid

Harry Kane is 11/82.38 to sign for Bayern Munich after the German champions made a second bid for the England captain.

Tottenham are expected to reject the bid, which is said to be worth £70m plus add‑ons, as they value the player at £100m.

His contract is up next summer and chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to keep him for another year and risk losing him for free when the current deal expires.

That's why Kane is 4/61.67 to stay at Spurs beyond this transfer window.

There has been no bid from Real Madrid 15/28.50, who are more interested in signing Kylian Mbappe, and Manchester United 14/115.00 are not prepared to meet Levy's asking price.

This may not be Bayern's final offer though. Kane has held positive talks with them and manager Thomas Tuchel remains keen to sign him.

Kane has shown little interest in signing a new contract with Spurs, for whom he is the all-time leading goalscorer, even though they have offered him a significant improvement on his current £200m a week deal.

He was disappointed by their chaotic season in 2022/23 which saw them play under three managers and finish fifth in the Premier League.

Kane turns 30 this month and, although he should be top player for a few more seasons yet, he is aware that time is running out if he is to win major trophies.

June 2023

Harry Kane is 10/111.91 to stay at Tottenham and play under new manager Ange Postecoglou next season.

The England captain's future is top of the new boss' in-tray after he was confirmed as Antonio Conte's succcessor as the club's permanent manager.

Betfair launched a range of special markets on the 57-year-old's first season.

Postecoglou will not want the saga to drag on all summer - as it did in 2021 when Kane wanted to join Manchester City - and disrupt his preparations for next season.

The new manager will want to know whether or not the club's record goalscorer is part of his plans for 2023/24.

Madrid lead race to sign Kane

Real Madrid are the 11/82.38 favourites to sign Kane as they search for a replacement for Karim Benzema who has moved to the Saudi Arabian league.

Kane would slot comfortably into their team and playing in La Liga and the Champions League for arguably the world's biggest club could be just what the striker, who turns 30 this summer, needs at this stage of his career.

The move to Spain could be good news for England (it would see their captain and main goal threat playing for a better club) as they prepare for next summer's Euro 2024 Championship.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy (pictured above) said they would not sell to a rival but Manchester United 5/23.50 are the most likely Premier League destination for Kane, according to the market.

Erik ten Hag is desperate to sign a proven goalscorer this summer and the Spurs man tops a list of targets that also includes Victor Osimhen 5/16.00 and Rasmus Hojlund 7/42.75.

Kane has a big decision to make this summer - join a club where he is more likely to win the silverware that has eluded him so far or stay at Spurs and help them challenge for the biggest prizes as well as attempt to break Alan Shearer's Premier League all-time goalscoring record.
