Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn admits signing Harry Kane from Tottenham would be a ‘dream’ as he labels the England captain an ‘absolute top striker’ – but insists any swoop will be for the ‘future’ as they pursue other targets
- Tottenham ace Harry Kane previously attracted interest from Manchester City
- He went on to stay at the club before Antonio Conte guided them to fourth spot
- However, the striker is now being eyed up by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich
- Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn admits signing Kane is a ‘dream’ of theirs for the future
Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has labelled a move for Tottenham talisman Harry Kane a ‘dream’, but insists his club are not interested in signing him this summer.
Kahn is evidently an admirer of Kane, although the Bundesliga champions have opted to focus on other targets despite the imminent exit of Robert Lewandowski.
As it stands, Kane remains contracted to Spurs until 2024 and has committed his future to the club after previous interest from Manchester City fell short last season.

But Bayern’s hierarchy appear to be eyeing a swoop for him at a later date.
Speaking to Sport Bild about his interest in the prolific striker, Kahn said: ‘He’s under contract with Tottenham.
‘Sure, an absolute top striker, but that’s all a dream of the future.’
He went on to add: ‘Now we have to look at getting the squad together for the current season. Let’s see what else happens.’
Kane penned a six-year contract at Spurs in 2018, which has two years left to run.

Robert Lewandowski is poised to join Barcelona after Bayern confirmed his imminent sale
The arrival of Antonio Conte, and the collapse of City’s pursuit, convinced him to stay put in north London – and he is now preparing for the upcoming campaign.
The frontman has made a total of 385 appearances for the club, scoring 247 goals.
Meanwhile, Bayern have confirmed the looming exit of star man Lewandowski.
The Poland striker is set to undergo a medical today before penning a three-year contract at Barcelona, who agreed a deal in principle to sign him for £42.5million.
Sadio Mane has arrived to help fill the void at Bayern, while Serge Gnabry has handed the Bavarian outfit a further boost by signing a new deal until 2026.
