Tottenham have offered Harry Kane a huge new contract that would significantly increase his £200,000 weekly wages but the striker has no intention of signing a new deal this summer.
Kane has entered the final 12 months of his contract and is a target for perennial Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, whose opening bid in the region of £60 million has been rejected by Spurs. As The Guardian first reported, Kane has no intention of agreeing to Spurs' bid while the transfer window remains open, which is likely to leave the club in limbo until the end of the summer.
The England captain, who turns 30 this month, is open to leaving North London during the transfer window or leaving on a free transfer at the end of next season but has not ruled out a contract extension with his boyhood club - even if that is considered to be the most unlikely scenario. Spurs are unwilling to sell their vice-captain, who will inherit the captaincy for life if Hugo Lloris leaves as expected, and are not interested in negotiating with their Premier League rivals. However, the club will be forced to listen to big offers from Bayern or other overseas clubs, potentially in excess of £100m.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is still hoping to persuade Kane to extend his contract and is betting that new head coach Ange Postecoglou will turn around the club's fortunes after a dismal season which culminated in an eighth-placed finish and missed European Football, will turn around for the first. time from 2009 to 2010 Since then, Spurs have signed Kanes England team-mate James Maddison from Leicester and Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario while working on a deal for former Fulham striker Manor Solomon and hoping to do so this summer to sign two midfielders. -while talking about Mickey van de Wen continues in Wolfsburg.
Postecoglou began pre-season training with the regular squad on July 1 and is set to hold talks with Kane when the striker returns to Hotspur Way next week after a lengthy absence having led England in qualifying last month.
The Australians have vowed to get the country back to having fun and playing attacking football, although the challenge also includes a cultural change after Kane claimed Spurs had lost some of their "values" and "standards" in recent years.
