Bayern Munich chief makes surprising claim about Harry Kane fee owed to Spurs
Fabrizio Romano, the Italian journalist who broke the news of the deal to bring Kane to Munich, reported that the fee was worth £104 million, including bonuses, and Football.London’s Alasdair Gold further reported that the fee could be increased to £120 million if certain bonuses were met.
Bayern Munich comment on true Harry Kane fee
The German club’s president, Dietrich Hainer, has now said that these figures are too high and that all bonuses are contingent on Bayern winning silverware in the coming seasons. “Harry Kane didn’t cost us more than €100 million – unless we won this, that and that in the coming seasons,” Hainer said. “Without bonuses, we’re under €100 million.”
Since signing from Tottenham in the summer, the striker has scored 13 goals in eight games in all competitions. Hainer has said that Bayern were forced to pay more for the striker because of the goal guarantee he provides, which is only offered by a few strikers in the world.
There are just a select few strikers in this category that both fit us and improve us, he continued. They are also expensive since they are scarce.
We finally have a goal guarantee once more with Harry Kane since he plays as a striker and scores a lot of goals.
Both Bayern and Tottenham will present favorable data to demonstrate that they “won” the negotiation. Given Bayern’s recent success, one would believe that any add-ons that are contingent on the club winning the Bundesliga are virtually guaranteed.

When Tottenham Hotspur made the decision to sell Davinson Sanchez to Galatasaray a month ago, it was not anticipated that he would make such a significant impact in his Champions League debut. The Colombian had only provided one assist in his 207 appearances for the club in all competitions, but he has now matched that total in his first month at Gala.
On Tuesday night, he provided two assists in a 3-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, setting up Wilfried Zaha’s opener and providing the final pass for Mauro Igeri’s winner, just after the striker’s penalty was deflected wide of the post.
Davinson Sanchez provides two assists in Champions League debut for Galatasaray
Sanchez’s two assists will hardly make Tottenham feel as though they were mistaken to let him go in September, of course.
Sadly, during his time in North London, he never came close to living up to expectations. And when Galatasaray came calling, it felt like good business to gain close to £13 million for him.
Mixed night for the defender
No, Sanchez’s performance that evening was not flawless. He obviously won’t be happy that United scored twice because he slipped just before the home team’s second goal.
He did, however, succeed in clearing the ball five times, which was more than any other player on the field, according to Whoscored. He triumphed in three aerial duels as well.
Having said that, Tottenham supporters will be happy to see Micky van de Ven playing with Cristian Romero. The cooperation between the two seems to have a ton of potential. And Spurs have made significant progress in a very short period of time.
