Bayern Munich 'plan £90m Harry Kane swoop' as Oliver Kahn admits interest in England star
Harry Kane could be set to leave Tottenham at the end of the season with Bayern Munich reportedly lining up a £90m swoop for the England captain next summer
Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Khan has hinted the club are lining up an audacious £90m swoop for Harry Kane next summer.
The Tottenham striker, 29, has been linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions for some time with club seeing him as the perfect replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who joined Barcelona in July.
Speaking to Sky Sports Germany, Khan admitted Bayern were considering "many players" but reserved special praise for the England captain in the latest suggestion that an official approach could be on the cards.

"Of course, [Kane is] a very good player, but there are also many other very good players. I’ve read [rumours] everywhere – Oliver Kahn and Harry Kane, Hasan [Salihamidzic, sporting director] and Harry Kane," Khan said.
"We’re considering many, many players and it’s not okay to talk about players who are under contract at other clubs."
Kane, who hasn't won a single major trophy, is under contract at Tottenham until 2024 but could push for an exit if Bayern ramp up their interest, especially if Antonio Conte's side fail to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Is Harry Kane better than Robert Lewandowski? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
Tottenham resisted Manchester City's advances last year and kept hold of Kane following a lengthy transfer saga, despite the striker making it clear he wanted to leave.
Talk of a departure has since died down, especially with City signing Erling Haaland, though Bayern's interest may change things, and with Kane entering his 30s next year Daniel Levy might see £90m as an offer he can't refuse.
