Harry Kane has scored the most goals in Tottenham Hotspur’s history and is one of the club’s greatest players of all time.
But now the English national team captain – who joined the club as an eleven-year-old – has left in a huge transfer to Bayern Munich.
Negotiated during the summer
According to silly season expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich will pay approximately SEK 1.2 billion for Kane, which is the club’s highest ever transfer fee.
Kane has been linked with Bayern Munich throughout the summer and on Friday night there was a breakthrough in negotiations when Tottenham finally accepted the offer from the Germans.
“It’s boring”
Kane is said to have thought about his future for a long time, but finally decided to sign for his new club. He signed for the next four seasons, and will wear jersey number nine.
– I want to be the first to tell you Tottenham fans that I will be leaving the club today. There is obviously a lot of emotion right now, Kane says in a video on Instagram.
– It is sad to leave a club that I have been in for under 20 years. There have been so many amazing moments and memories I will always carry with me.
Can win title tonight
Shortly after Kane’s announcement, the clubs also confirmed the deal.
– The transition required persistence, determination and perseverance. A big compliment to everyone at FC Bayern who was involved in these negotiations, says Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer to the club’s website.
Kane can make his debut as early as Saturday’s final in the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig.
