Real paid 120m with addons for Hazard with one year left on his contract. Kane is better than Hazard, and while there are many great wingers like Vinicius, Kane is a sigular standout in the striker market.

Also, paying now is the only way Bayern gets Kane, if he's free next summer he'll go to Man City or Real. Either club will happily match whatever Kane's salary requirements are.

Pretty sure Barca paid 50m for Lewa who is 5 years older than Kane, and not as good.

You’re right. Although Hazard’s failure shows the risk in spending big money on an older player.

We do have some leverage but so do Bayern. Either accept what is very good money or you will lose him in a year for nothing. You’ll have to replace Kane soon so it’s better to have 70m to try to do that with.

I don’t know what I would do if I were the club. It’s a really tough one.

It's similar to West Ham and Rice. They want the most for their best player in the last year of his deal.

Kane will not go to Germany, full stop.

Which elite players go to Germany? Zero league appeal.

Id be more worried if an offer from Real came in.

And €70m….My money says Levy’s got more in his Vinted account👍👍

No elite players go to Bayern? A move there would almost guarantee him some silverware, and they are always a force in the CL. Far more competitive than us at the moment or in the next couple of years.

I‘m not saying 70 is a decent offer or anything, but let’s not play down Bayern being an attractive option for him.

Levy transfer written all over it. Has had a hard on for Maddison for a few windows now and loves Base.
Has all the hallmarks too with "leaks" that Ange wants him.

Could be Ange is also happy for it and it doesn't mean Maddison won't work out but let's get it established that Levy is still very much involved in transfer targets, despite all the noise about changes at the club.

Levy being involved in contracts/dealing again in the absence of Fab or a new Fab was inevitable..... It isn't an indicator that he never stepped away though.... The last couple of years were clearly as per the Fab playbook.

70 plus add ons is a good offer for a 29 year old with an expiring contract, imo
 
Kane, Richarlison, Son, Kulusevski and Maddison is an impressive list of attacking options to choose from but we are still one short (need a pacey direct winger type imo). Maybe Gil can be that option?

I don’t think Gil can physically reach the required level, he’s pretty much said that himself. He’d need to have an amazing preseason to stay here and I don’t think he really wants to anyway.

That’s a great point.

There seems to be competition for Rice. If there’s competition for Kane then the price will go up.

Big age difference too which will be a factor.

We don't know that.

Real released a statement saying they weren't buying anymore players.

If Bayern look like they get close to a price, guarantee they start sniffing again.

If we reject anything close to 100m, Bayern and Real move on imo.
