It is one of the soap operas of the summer. What is Harry Kane going to do in the next few days. Close to Bayern Munich, which keeps seeing its approaches rebuffed by Tottenham, the English striker seems to have wanted to join Bavaria for many weeks. While Kane is out of contract in a year with the London club, Bayern Munich is claiming nearly 117 million euros to be open to the idea of letting their captain go. For his part, the English international had posed an ultimatum to the German champions in recent days: either the Munich residents make a reasonable offer, or he will decide to stay one more year in north London.
Faced with this dilemma, the Bavarians then made an offer of more than 100 million euros, including bonuses, and gave until Saturday to obtain a favorable response, or not, from their counterparts across the Channel. If his offer is rejected, Bayern Munich will then abandon the Harry Kane track. Still, it seems hard to believe Tottenham could push back €100m for Harry Kane. Now not far from satisfied, Spurs leaders must think about a future without their star player. And to do this, they have already targeted his ideal replacement.
A first offer already made for Mehdi Taremi
Indeed, according to information from Sky Sports Italia, Mehdi Taremi is seriously considered the most credible option to replace the top scorer in Tottenham history. According to the transalpine media, negotiations are going well between the London club and Porto about the Iranian striker, represented by Jorge Mendes. Still according to our Italian counterparts, a first offer of 24 million euros has been made for the 31-year-old striker.
Also targeted by Manchester United earlier in the summer, Taremi is estimated at 30 million euros by its leaders. Part of the FC Porto attack, the former Al-Gharafa is coming out of another big season punctuated by 31 goals and 14 assists in 51 games with the Portuguese club. While Mathys Tel and Dusan Vlahovic have been cited as targets being investigated by Spurs, they have reportedly decided to look into a more affordable profile. But of his three names, it was the Iranian who was the most prolific last season.
