Leverkusen have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Victor Boniface from St. Gilloise and he is currently scheduled to undergo medical tests to become a Leverkusen player. It costs around 20 million euros and I think that's a very reasonable price not too expensive, especially since he's still young at 22 years old. The duration of his contract is very long until 2028 and this makes Leverkusen at least very safe for his attacking position. We know that after Leverkusen managed to sell Moussa Diaby to Aston Villa for 50 million euros Leverkusen's finances became better and it is likely that we are still waiting for a new signing from Xabi Alonso to strengthen his squad in all competitions next season and compete with other teams.

The performance of any player is different and it's not the same with other players, that's why it's not right to say Kane, Mane or any other player can take Lewandowski's place in Bayern Munich.
I expect to see a good performance in Kane if he joins Bayern Munich but I don't expect to see the same performance as we saw from Lewandowski in Bayern Munich.

The last news that i have heard about a possible transfer of Sadio Mane to al-nassr was that Bayern would let Mane go for a transfer fee of around 30 Million €. If those numbers are true, then this obviously is not even a third of the amount that Tottenham is asking for Kane probably a fourth with bonuses included. I am pretty sure that there will be official confirmation about a transfer of Mane to Saudi Arabia pretty soon but i doubt that this will have any influence on the situation with Kane.

It has been confirming by bayern if manchester city will not able to get pavard. The club is saying that Bayern sees Pavard as a potential long-term player, so they may not be interested in letting him join Manchester City..

Bayern is trying to sign walker alon without an agreement to swap the player.

I did believe since this rumor was coming if bayern would not be making such a terrible decision to swap pavard for kyle walker. Walker already made a personal agreement with the club and that's very easy for bayern to sign him without doing swap.
that's the reason why i won't believe if bayern will try to sell pavard to the manchester city. Nobody gonna believe it if pavard will agree to be swapped for walker although if bayern was forcing him to do that. Pavard is an asset owned by bayern.

Tuchel should not be dumb enough to sell him. Pavard has become an important player of bayern. he will always be staying in the club till he decides to leave from the club by himself.

This is wise enough, I wanted to tackle you initially but you've already balanced it and I believe you are overall neutral. No one truly knows what the guy would do until he gets there, only that Kane is a very good player, and playing with a good impact in Tottenham is a good point to reference, and possibly he might do better there with more motivation. Harry Kane has also been linked to some failed transfer speculation in the recent past, this might not yet be a done deal. Even this is the third time Bayern Munich would be showing interest, meaning that Tuchel must have browsed up and down and see no better choice than him.

I don't want to say that Kane will be very suitable to replace the role of Lewandowski, because last season Mane was also predicted to be a suitable replacement, but in reality he could not replace the vital role left by the striker who had inhabited the squad for a very long time. I also don't want to say that he won't be suitable, because we know Kane's abilities are good, so it is possible for him to be able to show the best game he has. But as of now I don't see whether this transfer will be a success or not.

We have to wait longer for something this big, why I say this is something big, because this is a big step for the Englishman.

Their friendly against Padeborn in Bundesliga 2 didn't go well but then again it's just a friendly there isn't anything to benchmark them for next season.
Right now they are still trying to make some adjustments after players came and went in this transfer.
However, I'm still a little confident that they can get back to good form because Xabi can always make some noise and that was proven last season.

The problem they need to fix is that the ups and downs in form can sometimes be unpredictable so this is something Xabi needs to anticipate from the start.

Yes, there was too much hope that Harry Kane really wanted to join Bayern Munich, not without reason, because actually Bayern Munich itself looked very aggressive to be able to get Harry Kane, it was very clear because they had made two offers, only both of which were in vain because they were rejected by Tottenham Hotspurs, but it's not impossible if the value requested by the English club is met by Bayern Munich, then Harry Kane's transfer agreement can finally be reached, so this is actually about the transfer amount that has not been used between the two clubs if an agreement is reached, Harry Kane can only accept the agreement well and move to Germany to play in Bundesliga.
However, it does not rule out the possibility that Bayern Munich will eventually get another striker, not Harry Kane, because they see that it is difficult to get him, also if Bayern Munich's targets change and they want to get younger players so he can play there longer, but it seems that Harry Kane is currently a priority for Bayern Munich.

It is true that Levy will get his players at a lower price after Kane turns 31, the price will follow performance on the field and Kane consistency in scoring goals. So the logical consequence would be to release him in the transfer window this summer in the best way to turn a profit. Munchen will not spend more than 100 million for players 30+, because it is not certain that Kane can meet their expectations according to the price paid.

Mane in Lego to the Saudi Pro league and Kane to be recruited as a substitute is the scenario that is being carried out by Bayern Munchen so far, the realization of a fast move gives Kane plenty of time to adapt.

Mane can technically be useful as long as he plays as a left winger rather than a centre-forward or with some other role. This is possible only if Bayern Munich complete the striker signing in the coming days. They are still trying to finish the Kane signing and then maybe we might see a good relationship in the attacking line between Kane and Mane.

But this is all an assumption of me of course. I don't know what in Tuchel's mind is now. Maybe he isn't thinking of Mane as priority for now. But I would have definitely given Mane a chance in his natural position. He can still be very productive and I don't know with whom they can fill his place strongly either.

I personally hope that the officials of Bayern Munich will not go that far to bid 100 million € as base transfer fee plus possible bonus payments for Kane because he already is 30 years old and he has only one more year worth of contract left. I think it would be totally crazy to pay 120 million € for such a player. If Levy is really such a tough negotiation partner and insisting on that amount of money, then i would not meet his terms and look for another striker. Kane is not the only one.

people are expecting too much from Harry Kane to join Bayern Munich. on the one hand, it's not just Munich who want this great player, there are many teams who want to control him, including rival teams from the EPL. I'm not skeptical of what will happen but I don't really expect Kane to sign for Munich because I think realistically that means Harry Kane is still a mystery where he will go and join another team.
well, I know as a Bayern Munich supporter it's possible to wish the best for the top team in the bundesliga but don't go so far as to think about Harry Kane instead of being disillusioned by this uncertainty. even without Kane arrival at Bayern Munich, I'm sure Munich can still be the top holder of the bundesliga standings.

I also feel that since negotiations are going on, an agreement will be found in this transfer window only. Bayern have matched 80m Euro + add ons in their second bid for Kane ^[1] and Spurs value Kane over 100m Euro. I feel that with pressure from Kane and another improved bid to match 100m Euro with adds on + fixed fee, things will be agreed on at the end. Still I have slight doubts since it's Levy, Bayern has to deal with and he is really hard one in negotiations.

It's like saying Leipzig buys players with a budget that has been provided and cannot exceed that amount of the budget. It can be said that Leipzig is capable of doing all of that and currently what the club needs is going well. If we really think about it, it's only a matter of strategy on the field which will determine the positive direction for Leipzig next season and as coach Marco Rose is challenged again to be able to complete his job properly later. Maybe Leipzig don't completely depend on a few players, they have to work more together as a group to achieve a guaranteed victory.

Bayern Munich continues to demonstrate pressure on their ultimate striker in the market, a top Tottenham Hotspur goal scorer who would match perfectly in the position of Robert Lewandowski. Harry Kane will eventually emerge from Tottenham Hotspur's shadow. All he needs is critical thinking about his rights and wrongs; one misstep may ruin his entire career.  We all know that age is not on his side, and things are getting complicated with backup plans from the Bavarians, while Harry Kane should make it happen, leave Tottenham, and write a new chapter in the Bundesliga.

I still think that the necessary balance will be found and Kane will still move from Tottenham to Bayern Munich in this transfer window. Nevertheless, the age of a football player is short and it is better not to postpone the transition for another year. Ken is a wonderful age for a football player, but still not the same as Mbappe to painlessly wait another season.

 According to the news, Sadio Mane has agreed personal terms with the Saudi side Al Nassr and could be moving to the club very soon, so the Bundesliga Liga side are in search of another striker that would fill in the gap left by the Senegalese  star, and Harry Kane is the perfect man for them,though talks are still ongoing with his club but he's already agreed personal terms to move to Bayern Munich but would have to wait for the final decision of the club's chairman Daniel Levy who is reluctant to sell and have had two bids from the Bundesliga champions rejected by him,they are so desperate for the signature of Harry Kane and would lunch another bid very soon
 The frontline is not the only role that Bayern are looking to work on, it is said that they are monitoring the situation of Liverpool midfielder Fabinho, who is said to be completing a deal with another Saudi team Al-Ittihad and a deal could be finalised during the weekend or so, I feel the midfield issue last season has prompted them to seek other alternatives that would pair with Joshua Kimmich and Fabinho is a player of great quality and would add an extra force and creativity in the midfield of Bayern, with his good passing and defence ability, but since he's close to joining the Saudi side, I'm not sure they'll get him without a fight in the transfer window.

RB Leipzig's Bundesliga rise is obvious. People saw their gutsy play. The Bundesliga is tough, as you know. They've prepared, but can they win? That's tough. They lost major stars, right? Like Bayern's Konrad Laimer and Chelsea's Nkunku. I envy those guys that join huge clubs, you know? That loss must hurt the Red Bulls. You can't just remove them and expect everything to be OK. Marco Rose is a competent instructor. He doesn't avoid work. He'll be interesting to watch with new cards this season. Sports are hard, right?

Kane doesn't want to insist on his departure if there is no agreement between Bayern Munich and Tottenham. He actually wants to sign for Bayern Munich now but it isn't like his only option now. If this agreement doesn't happen then he is okay about waiting until the end of his contract to leave for free. As long as he has the kind of a signing he wants it doesn't look like he cares if it is now or in a year. Tottenham must be the one to be worried about this situation now.

Levy's continuing to be stubborn will take them nowhere. He will have Kane for only one last season and that's it.

Harry Kane has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that he's one of the most consistent and best strikers of world football and deserves to be allowed to make his choice of which club he has decided to leave Tottenham for.
The striker has given out his best for the club and should be allowed to go to a club like Bayern where there's very much chances of winning major trophies before he retires from football
