After months of speculation, England captain Harry Kane has officially completed his £100m move from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich, bringing one of football's most protracted transfer sagas to a close.
The End of an Era at Tottenham
The 30-year-old striker leaves Spurs as their all-time leading goalscorer with 280 goals across all competitions. Kane's departure marks the end of a 19-year association with the North London club where he rose through the academy ranks to become one of world football's most lethal finishers.
Bayern's Statement Signing
German champions Bayern Munich have secured their primary summer target, with Kane signing a four-year deal at the Allianz Arena. The Bundesliga giants see the England captain as the missing piece in their quest for Champions League glory after several disappointing European campaigns.
What This Means for Tottenham
New Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou now faces the daunting task of rebuilding without his star striker. The club is expected to reinvest the £100m fee in multiple signings, with replacements already being lined up before the transfer window closes.
Key Details of the Deal:
- Transfer fee: £100m (including add-ons)
- Contract length: 4 years
- Weekly wages: £400,000
- Shirt number: Expected to wear #9
Kane could make his Bundesliga debut as early as this weekend when Bayern face RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup. Meanwhile, Tottenham begin their Premier League campaign away to Brentford on Sunday without their talismanic striker for the first time in a decade.
