Bayern Munich did not pay £100 million ($122m) for Harry Kane, says former club president

The England captain finally severed ties with Tottenham during the summer transfer window as he decided to take on an entirely new challenge outside of his north London comfort zone. Bayern did make Kane their record signing, with big money required in order to land Spurs’ all-time leading goalscorer.

It was claimed at the time that a nine-figure sum had changed hands, but Hoeness insists that is not the case. He has told then shedding some light on a deal that dominated headlines in the Premier League and Bundesliga: “We only spent 95 million euros to sign Kane.”

That sum converts to £82m ($100m), with there a collection of add-ons that could bump the price up further in the years to come. Kane is likely to trigger a number of those clauses – especially those relating to his individual performance – as he has already netted nine goals for Bayern through 10 appearances.
