Could it be that center forward Harry Kane is the type of player Bayern wanted the most, but isn’t the type of player they needed the most?
The decisive games of the old season were coming up, but Thomas Tuchel was already thinking about the new one. He ended up in London in the middle of May, the month in which Germany’s championship ended, where he then sought out the footballer he so desperately wanted for his team.
He knew that after many rounds of negotiations, the player, who even announced commands in the England national team, would probably cost more than 100 million euros. And yet he got involved in this matter in the old season – because he not only wanted such a player, but from his point of view he urgently needed it in the new season.
