Bayern Munich needs Harry Kane more than he needs them, and Daniel Levy needs the money more than he needs the money. The Bavarians have backed themselves into a corner from which they must escape…
Bayern Munich must have gotten the hint after Daniel Levy left them on double-grey ticks more than 48 hours after their deadline for a response.
They’ll have to work harder if they want Harry Kane, or even the decency of a response.
To be fair to Bayern, they have demonstrated some willingness. Their third bid, following a dismal opening and a half-hearted follow-up, was unquestionably closer to the amount Levy would want to become The Man Who Sold Kane. Bayern offered roughly $100 million in the incorrect currency.

According to several reports, the Bavarians bid roughly £86 million, including add-ons, which was inevitably rejected. That followed face-to-face negotiations in London at the beginning of last week, from which Bayern must have come away with a clear understanding of what is expected of them.
It is now up to them to live up to those expectations. Bayern appear to have spent the most of the summer expecting Spurs to fold, demonstrating an appalling lack of foresight.
Bayern needs this deal more than Spurs. They, more than Kane, need it to happen.
Tottenham and England’s all-time leading scorer is in a dream situation. He appears to be interested in joining Bayern, but he will not press the subject, and there is no need for him to. In a year, he can choose from a variety of clubs. In the interim, he may continue to be liked and revered in a rebuild guided by Ange Postecoglou.
What Will Happen To Bayern Munich?
Next summer, Bayern won’t be the only club at Kane’s door as they are now. Currently, they have a free run at one of the world’s most-deadly centre-forwards. And Christ knows they need him.
Since they sold Robert Lewandowski a year ago, there has been a gaping void in Bayern’s frontline almost the size of the one in Man Utd’s attack. The Bundesliga perma-champs got away with it last season, but only just. They had to rely on their closest rivals going peak-Dortmund, caving in on the final day of the season. And even then, it was a closer shave than it ought to have been.
