Pep Guardiola addresses Harry Kane future as Bayern Munich agree fee with Tottenham

Pep Guardiola is unsure whether or not Daniel Levy will allow Harry Kane to join Bayern Munich.

On Friday, Tottenham agreed a fee with the German giants worth more than £86.4m after a summer of protracted negotiations.

The England captain must now make a decision having previously been open to the idea of a move to Germany.

Kane, however, was said to have been leaning towards staying at Spurs earlier this week and wants his future resolved before Sunday’s clash with Brentford.

Guardiola was keen to bring Kane to Manchester City in the summer of 2021 and saw a number of offers rejected by Levy.

City have since signed Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez after moving on from their pursuit of Kane, winning the treble with the pair last season.

The City boss was in charge of Bayern between 2013 and 2016 and was asked about the potential move during Friday’s pre-match press conference.

"Everyone knows [his qualities]. He is a top, top striker,” he said.

“He scores goals and has the ability to assist. He is an exceptional striker. Alan Shearer is the only man in front of him as top goalscorer. I don’t know if Daniel Levy will allow him to leave or he will stay there."
