Bayern Munich News: Despite long odds, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, FC Barcelona still vying for Harry Kane; Arsenal eyeing Bundesliga star?; and MORE!
United, Spurs, Barca maintain interest in Kane (Football Insider)
While nearly every report points toward a contract extension at Bayern Munich for striker Harry Kane, Manchester United and FC Barcelona have not give up all hope of getting the Englishman just yet:
Harry Kane is happy to stay at Bayern Munich amid continued interest in his services from Man United, sources have told Football Insider. Kane remains a key man for Bayern but is nearing the end of his contract at the Allianz Arena next June.
Talks are underway for a long-term extension that would see him commit to the German champions for another three seasons. The England captain has admitted that several terms are still yet to be agreed, despite confidence that an agreement will eventually be reached.
United are monitoring the situation, but as I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, Kane’s main priority as it stands is to stay at Bayern He also retains admirers at Tottenham and has been linked to Barcelona in the last few months, but a move next summer is not on the agenda right now.
As with all of these reports, there is nothing to see here just yet. Sure, Kane and his family are not in total agreement on a contract extension yet (the hold-up is whether it will be a two-year or three-year extension), no one is anticipating that Kane will leave Germany.
Until he puts his name on a new deal, though, other clubs will still — at least — throw out some interest in the superstar.
Gunners eyeing Beier (ESPN)
Arsenal could be thinking about a very surprising move — Borussia Dortmund attacker Maximilian Beier:
Arsenal are monitoring Borussia Dortmund forward Maximilian Beier as a potential attacking reinforcement, TEAMtalk has revealed. Gunners scouts have been impressed by the 23-year-old’s versatility across the frontline during their visits to monitor Ethan Nwaneri’s loan spell at the German club.
Beier was one of the somewhat surprising omissions from the German national team’s latest call-up list, but — in truth — he has not lived up to the reputation that preceded him before his BVB transfer. Beier is fast and versatile, but is he a difference maker? It does not appear that way.

Agent Ali Barat has been identified by JJ Gabriel’s entourage as a potential fixer ahead of a marquee move for the youngster. Barat lined up talks with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Manchester United sources do not expect Gabriel to return to training or play for the club again.
Ali Barat has helped facilitate talks between JJ Gabriel’s family and Bayern and Real Madrid. Although a player can’t be formally represented by an agent until they turn 16, Barat and his Epic Sports agency are the frontrunners to represent Gabriel after bringing Real and Bayern to the table for his signature.
