Harry Kane and his wife Katie finally land in Germany to complete his £100 million transfer to Bayern after his flight was canceled TWICE.

Harry Kane and his wife Katie landed in Munich on Friday night to complete his £100 million transfer to Bayern after his flight was canceled twice as negotiations between Tottenham and the German giants dragged on.

Kane then traveled to Barmherzige Bruder Hospital in Munich to receive his medical and complete his record transfer from Spurs.

The 30-year-old striker could even win his first trophy on Saturday, with Thomas Tuchel considering taking him direct against RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.

There was palpable relief in Munich among senior executives that the on-off transfer drama, the biggest in Bundesliga history, had finally been resolved. very last.

Bayern’s new CEO Jan Christian Dreesen had promised Tuchel that he would do everything he could to bring in the England captain. Hamburg from Liverpool in 1977.

Tuchel was nervous earlier in the day given news of problems in London over the exit and some last-minute renegotiations. “We are working under the highest pressure to sign Harry Kane,” he said. “We are trying to get the captain of the England national team from England, from the Premier League. That says it all. It’s a big problem. But it’s still going on and nothing is being done about it.’

Later, there would be a deep sigh of satisfaction all over the training ground on Sabener Strasse when Kane’s jet finally took off.

It was a transfer coup that seemed unlikely when Bayern first talked about it in February, but was given additional impetus by Tuchel’s arrival at the club last March.

All summer, Dreesen played what turned out to be a winning poker hand with a formidable opponent in Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, with two early bids falling short before finally agreeing on the £100m fee.

No doubt Bayern has been waiting for a player like Kane for a year since Robert Lewandowski left for Barcelona.

Their lack of a world-class No. 9 has since been evident, despite Eric Choupo-Moting performing well. The fact that 18-year-old Mathys Tel led pre-season with Choupu-Moting and Thomas Müller injured tells its own story.

Bayern were criticized for losing touch with Europe’s elites when they were sidelined by Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and Kane has been bought to ensure they are competitive in that tournament, which they won in 2020 .

Kane and his pregnant wife Katie flew in together and the England captain will meet his new teammates on Saturday morning at a pre-game training session at Säbener Strasse, Bayern Munich’s historic training ground.

Katie is expected to return after the weekend to bring their three young children, having already spent the summer house hunting in Grünwald, a picturesque suburb close to the training ground.

The German media has labeled Kane’s move as one of the biggest ever. Certainly not since Arjen Robben came over from Real Madrid in 2009 has such a big star come from La Liga or the Premier League at the height of his potential.

And for Kane, it’s the closest thing to a guarantee of his first trophy, as Bayern have won their last 11 Bundesliga titles. The first of Kane’s career could even come on Saturday night – if Tuchel throws him straight in against RB Leipzig.
