Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain were all keen to get Harry Kane but failed to do so.

Numerous European clubs fought over Kane’s signature before Bayern Munich finally signed the England international for £100m

According to The Athletic, Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag remains a huge admirer of the 30-year-old and the striker was a priority for the club. However, Tottenham were unwilling to sell the player to a direct competitor and instead of sticking with such a tough negotiator like Daniel Levy they focused on other targets and eventually got Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta. in a £72m deal

For their part, Real Madrid wanted Kane to replace Karim Benzema, who left for Al-Ittihad at the start of the summer. Carlo Ancelotti also insisted on getting the striker during a meeting with club president Florentino Perez and general manager Jose Angel Sanchez. However, they feared that Levy would ask for €150 million, a sum they could not spend on him. Nonetheless, they continued to submit a low bid to test Tottenham’s resolve, but soon realized the Premier League club would be pushing hard to let him go.

PSG also tried to sign Kane, but the player himself wasn’t keen on joining the French capital as he had doubts about the club itself.
