Kane, who left Heung-Min Son, and Min-Jae Kim joined Bayern Munich
4-year contract, uniform number 9… "Munich"s dream player"
Kane "I always wanted to compete at the highest level... Munich is a top-notch team"
Heung-Min Son, who has been with him for 8 seasons... "EPL"s best duo" disbanded
"Exclusive striker" Harry Kane left Tottenham (England) and officially joined Bayern Munich, a famous German football club.
Leaving the side of Son Heung-min, who has been breathing together for 8 seasons, now eats rice with Kim Min-jae, who has grown into Korea"s best defender.
The Munich club said on its website on the 12th, "We have signed a contract with Kane.
The period is until June 30, 2027," and said, "The number is 9."
"It took a long time, but we are all happy that Kane is wearing the club uniform," said Jan-Christian Dresen, CEO of Munich, who explored Kane"s recruitment. "Kane was the player we dreamed of from the beginning."
Kane also expressed his feelings through the club, saying, "Munich is a world-class club. I always wanted to prove my competence by competing at the highest level."
Munich, which tried to bring Kane, made four offers to Tottenham this summer alone in the transfer market.
However, Tottenham rejected all three previous offers.
Recently, he proposed "100 million euros + α" including an additional contract for 100 million euros (145.8 billion won), but Tottenham rejected even this.
Munich did not disclose what conditions were included in the "fourth proposal" that turned Tottenham"s mind, which had not budged.
However, British and German media believe that Munich has offered at least 100 million euros as a "guarantee amount".
Analysts from German media outlets, such as the German version of Sky Sports and Built, said that 20 million euros (approximately 29.1 billion won) was included as an option here.
According to some British media, it is possible that Munich offered a higher transfer fee.
Football London said that if all options are met, the transfer fee Tottenham will collect can increase up to 120 million pounds (approximately 203 billion won).
Tottenham sent the ace, which is the symbol of the team, but took the real benefit.
Kane"s contract with Tottenham runs until next summer.
If Kane could not be sent this time, he had to watch the player leave without collecting the transfer fee.
Kane is the club"s all-time leading goalscorer, having scored 280 goals in 435 official matches wearing a Tottenham uniform.
As captain of the England national team, he scored 213 goals in the league alone, ranking second all-time in this category.
He has been playing with Son Heung-min, a sign of Korean soccer, since the 2015-2016 season, and has shown off a brilliant teamwork that will go down in Premier League history.
Over eight seasons, they helped each other score and scored a total of 47 goals.
Son Heung-min scored 24 goals and Kane scored 23 goals.
Thanks to this performance, on the 11th of last month, the British public broadcaster BBC was evaluated as the best goal-scoring duo in league history.
However, with this transfer, the "Son-Ke Duo" also came to an end.
Instead, Kane will work with Kim Min-jae, who has grown into the best defender in Korea.
Kane"s Munich debut is highly likely to be a Super Cup match against Leipzig scheduled for the morning of the 13th.
As a result, the friendly match against Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 6th, became Kane"s "farewell match".
Kane scored four goals alone and showed off his peak skills in front of Tottenham fans.
Munich, which recruited both Kane and Kim Min-jae this summer, is a strong team that has almost dominated the German Bundesliga.
It boasts the most brilliant winning career on the German stage, including 33 Bundesliga, 20 German Football Association (DFB)-Pokal, and 10 Super Cup.
Munich is the only team in Europe"s five major leagues to have won more than 10 consecutive seasons in their home league.
