Bayern Munich have been handed a huge boost to their hopes of signing Harry Kane this summer. The 30-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to the German outfit recently, with his contract at Tottenham set to expire at the end of next season.
Prior to the departure of Fabio Paratici in April, football.london understood that Spurs had been in contact with Kane’s entourage to discuss a new deal. But, the England international is said to be in no rush to sign an extension during the transfer window while he assesses his options.
Despite significant interest from Bayern, Daniel Levy seems determined to hold onto Kane, who will not force an exit. While it remains to be seen whether the Bundesliga champions will break the bank for the Spurs captain, the Lilywhites have reportedly prepared for his potential departure.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham have identified Mehdi Taremi as an heir to Kane’s thrown in north London. The report states that contact between Spurs and Porto has been made through super agent Jorge Mendes.
It’s believed that Levy has prepared a €24million (£20.8m) offer for the 31-year-old talisman, who has a €30million (£25.9million) price tag. Taremi featured 33 times for Porto in the Primeira Liga last season, scoring 22 goals and recording eight assists.
His impressive performances in the Portuguese top-flight caught the eye of Chelsea last year. According to A Bola, as quoted by the Express, the Blues made contact with Porto to explore the possibility of signing the Iran international.
The report claimed that the Portuguese side baulked at the west Londoners’ approach due to an inability to replace Taremi so late into the summer transfer window. Portugal has been a goldmine for ‘the next big thing’ for a while now, with Chelsea reaping great success from the signings of David Luiz, Ramires, Nemanja Matic and Enzo Fernandez in recent years.
