England captain Harry Kane has less than a year left on his Tottenham Hotspur contract and has showed little interest in signing a new agreement in North London, with Bayern Munich looking to put his and Spurs’ resolve to the test
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou wants Harry Kane’s future determined as soon as possible… but understands it won’t be that easy.
Bayern Munich is interested in England captain Kane, who has only one year left on his contract at Tottenham Hotspur.
The German giants have already turned down two proposals, the most recent of which was worth £68 million plus add-ons, with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy reportedly demanding £100 million to part with the Three Lions record striker.
Spurs, for their side, are happy to meet with Kane to discuss a new long-term contract in North London, but the 29-year-old is unwilling to do so at the moment.
When asked about the scenario on Friday, Postecoglou stated unequivocally that it is far from ideal.
When asked about it, Postecoglou replied, “[It’s] fair to say I’m not relaxed about it.” “It’s not something where you can say, ‘Ah, well, you know if it happens or not.'” I mean, he’s a huge part of this football club, not just the team, but the entire football club. He’s a colossal figure.
“And, while my concentration isn’t on it on a daily basis because I have other things to do, I know that every time I talk, or whenever Harry talks, it’s the first question you’ll receive. So you’ll have to cope with it.
“We don’t want to be doing it for too long for everyone involved.” That is not beneficial for anyone, in my opinion. I don’t believe it’s good for Harry, and I don’t think it’s good for the club, because no matter how focused we are, we wind up repeating ourselves along the road. But, on the other hand, I don’t want to impose a deadline because that would add even more pressure.
“The reality is that he is still a contracted player with our football club, so that’s how I see him.” It’s not like his contract expires on August 12th and he has to make a decision; he has another year.
“So, I’m not relaxed, but I’m not putting pressure on him or anyone else at the football club, saying, ‘Well, we need to do this.'”
“But I don’t think any of us, deep down, want it to go on for too long.”
