Harry Kane informs Tottenham board he will sign new contract but on one condition
Harry Kane has reportedly informed the club’s board that if Tottenham qualify for the Champions League again at the end of this season, he will be willing to sign a new contract.
Kane’s contract will expire in 18 months, at the beginning of next year. He may let it run until the end of the season, when he will almost certainly be a target for a number of clubs.
Bayern Munich have already stated their desire to sign the England striker to replace Robert Lewandowski, who left for Barcelona in the summer.
Chelsea has also been linked with Kane in recent weeks, with reports claiming that new owner Todd Boehly wants to sign him.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the England striker is unsure about a move to Germany and has informed the Tottenham board that if the club qualifies for the Champions League again this year, he will sign a new contract.
According to the journalist, The Football Terrace:
“We know that Bayern Munich like Kane. But, liking Kane and getting Kane are two completely different things.
“Tottenham are very calm about the situation. If anything, it might be a Premier League rival that is more of a threat than Bayern because sources continue to tell me close to Harry Kane that he’s not necessarily sold on the Bundesliga, but what he wants to do is make a serious challenge to win the Champions League and do that across multiple seasons.
“Tottenham are calm about it, they believe Kane will sign a new deal but Kane will bide his time.
“Kane has told the Spurs hierarchy already that if Spurs get back-to-back Champions League qualifications, he becomes invested in the project long-term because he believes that the money and investment will lead towards Tottenham being a regular Champions League fixture.”
The £150 million striker is without a doubt one of the best strikers in the world, and Spurs will need to keep him if they are to compete for major trophies.
Spurs have become one of the teams to beat since Antonio Conte’s arrival. Last season, he led them to Champions League qualification, defeating arch-rivals Arsenal in the process, and they have started this season incredibly well, losing just once in the league and sitting just one point behind league leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
Spurs should finish in the top four this season, based on their strong start to the season and Conte’s track record.
