With respect you play in a two bob league fella. Bundesliga is only slightly more prestigious than the Dutch or French leagues these days.

The Premier league leaves it in the dust.

Kane is only looking at Bayern because he knows he is virtually guaranteed to win a domestic league title, and wants to get the trophy monkey off his back. I don't think you are even in the mix for winning the Champions league realistically.

Basically what I'm trying to politely say is that you ain't all that and a bag of potato chips.

With respect to you, I think your perception is way off. If you look at Elo ratings for example, you'll find that the AVERAGE of the Bundesliga is at the same level as LaLiga and the Serie A... in fact a few months ago it was ahead of both of them. One of the biggest reasons for this is that there are 18 clubs in the Bundesliga, so it's the best 18 clubs in Germany as opposed to the best 20 clubs in Italy and Spain.

The stadiums are sold out, and they're big, I think there's the highest average attendances in Europe.

The level in the Bundesliga is getting worse, that's right, but so is it in Spain and France. Tempted to say Italy as well but would first like to see whether last season was just a matter of lucky draws. It's clear that the Premier League is pulling away, helped in no small part by that mega TV deal.

As for Bayern not in the mix for winning the Champions League... like, seriously? Bookmaker odds currently place Bayern 2nd favourites, and those odds would not get any worse if Bayern indeed signs Kane. The only club who are bigger favourites are actually City, who have Haaland and (probably, because it's City after all) don't need Kane anymore. If Kane wants to win a CL title whilst being guaranteed a place in the XI is Bayern, and luckily for him Bayern wants him desperately. On top of that, he'll also be virtually guaranteed to win other trophies even if he fails to win the CL.
