The chief financial officer of Bayern Munich has acknowledged that the club might not be able to afford Harry Kane during the summer transfer window.
Last month, the Manchester Evening News reported that Erik ten Hag had identified Kane as Manchester United’s top priority for a striker. This was necessary for the club to improve its offensive alternatives. This is due to the team’s present lack of firepower.
Despite the fact that Marcus Rashford, an academy product plays primarily on the left flank. He has scored 27 goals across all competitions this season. There has been concern about other players’ failure to contribute when it comes to scoring goals.
Anthony Martial is the only known striker with a permanent contract at Old Trafford. But he has a dismal injury history. Wout Weghorst, who has two goals this season, was signed on loan as a stopgap alternative in January.
