Top access Harry Kane would have imagined his debut at FC Bayern Munich differently: The English team captain, who only landed in Munich on Friday evening, played for 30 minutes in the 0: 3 in the Supercup final against Leipzig on Saturday. Afterwards, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel apologized to Kane for the team’s poor performance at Kane’s debut. The players couldn’t stage the new top star.
Bayern pay 100 million euros transfer fee to Tottenham, 20 million more could be added as a bonus. “The reception from the fans was overwhelming. I can only thank the fans and the club. I hope I’ll give them more reasons to celebrate as the season progresses,” said Kane during his presentation, also explaining why his choice of the Bavaria had fallen. “A big part of my decision was that at the end of my career I didn’t want to regret the decision of never having played abroad. I remember what a big deal David Beckham’s move to Real Madrid was.” The week-long negotiation poker about his person has also left its mark on Kane, whose annual salary is said to be 25 million euros. “It was a very tiring few days. It’s my first big transfer,” admitted Kane, who had played for Tottenham as a junior, describing the 48 hours before signing the contract as a “roller coaster ride”.
The 30-year-old wants to integrate as well as possible before the start of the league on Friday against Werder Bremen. This also includes learning German as quickly as possible. “I’ve spent my whole life in England and the Premier League. Of course I have to adapt. This team has great players – and we have to see that we come together as soon as possible.”
