FC Bayern has not said it so clearly: The German record champion wants to sign Harry Kane. On the sidelines of the training camp, Bayern patron Uli Hoeneß chats about the background of the transfer tug and sends a declaration of war to England.

Uli Hoeneß is extremely optimistic in FC Bayern Munich’s struggle for Harry Kane. “He has clearly signaled in all conversations that his decision stands. And if it stays, then we’ll get him,” said the honorary president on the sidelines of the first unit in the training camp at Tegernsee. “Then Tottenham will have to buckle.”

The English international striker from Tottenham Hotspur “would like to play internationally,” stressed Hoeneß. “Tottenham won’t be active there next season – unlike our club. He now has another opportunity to come to a top club in Europe.”

“Must not put pressure on Manuel”

However, the negotiations turned out to be complicated. Spurs boss Daniel Levy is “clever. We have to get him to call a number first. He plays for time, is a savvy professional. I appreciate him very much. But on the other hand there are no people who do that since yesterday.” No one can expect to complete such a transfer “in a week”. The advisory side, Kane’s father and brother, is very pleasant, Hoeneß emphasized: “They always stood by what they said.” The 29-year-old Kane is likely to cost around 100 million euros.

On the way to national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s comeback, Hoeneß urged prudence. “What we are not allowed to do is that we put Manuel under pressure,” said the Bayern maker. Neither by naming a time for a comeback, nor by buying an “expensive goalkeeper”. “The injury wasn’t easy. It’s okay that there’s always a setback,” said Hoeneß. “It’s all about him. If he’s fine, we’re fine.” The aim is for the 37-year-old Neuer to remain number 1.

Neuer has been missing since breaking his lower leg in December. It probably won’t be enough for a comeback at the start of the season on August 18 at Werder Bremen. With Yann Sommer you will talk about all facets and perspectives, said Hoeneß about the new replacement committed in winter. Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, on the other hand, can leave the club. “We accepted his decision and if he finds a club he can go.” Among other things, VfB Stuttgart has expressed an interest in Nübel.
