    Tottenham agree Bayern Munich bid for Kane

    Premier League side Tottenham have agreed a bid from Bayern Munich for Harry Kane.

    The Daily Mail says Bayern has offered a new £95m proposal, which has now been accepted by Spurs.

    The German giants are also offering Kane personal terms rising to £400,000-a-week.

    Kane informed Spurs directors last week that he wants his future resolved by the weekend and will not contemplate a move once the Premier League season begins.

    Bayern have now acted and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to sell, climbing down from his latest £120m valuation.

    Kane is inside the final year of his Spurs contract.

    Tottenham open their Premier League campaign at Brentford on Sunday.

  • Bayern Munich accept Saudi offer for Sadio Mane

    Bayern Munich accept Saudi offer for Sadio Mane

    Bayern Munich have accepted an offer for their veteran winger Sadio Mane this week.

    The Bavarians are eager to move on from the Senegalese attacker, who arrived last summer from Liverpool.

    Per James Benge, Mane will be signing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia in the coming days.

    The winger will be linking up with former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

    The deal will net Bayern £34 million, which is slightly more than it cost them to secure Mane a year ago.

    Despite arriving to replace Robert Lewandowski last season, Mane struggled to find his best form.

    Bayern Munich are aware that winger Sadio Mane is in talks with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr for a possible transfer.

    “Bayern have been informed about it. But these are initial talks, so we will have to wait and see,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer said on Wednesday on the sidelines of a visit to the Tokyo governor.

    Bayern are in Japan for a pre-season training camp.

    According to the Bild newspaper, Al-Nassr representatives are to meet with Mané’s management team later on Wednesday.

    The Saudi club, who have Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad, are reportedly offering Mané a big salary. The player has a contract with Bayern until 2025, but is not ruling out an early departure.

    Hainer said there was no concrete offer yet, but media reports speak of something around €30 million ($33.18 million).

    Mané moved to Munich last summer and had a difficult first season, which included a long-term injury over which he missed the World Cup.

    He was also involved in a dressing room altercation with fellow forward Leroy Sane.

    The tests are to determine the state of Neuer ahead of the start of pre-season training, with others including Matthijs de Ligt, Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also being examined by club doctors.

    Germany and Bayern captain Neuer fractured his lower leg in December and has not played since.

    The original plan was to be fit again in the pre-season but Sky TV reported on Friday that Neuer’s return would be delayed.

    Sky said he would not be at a first training camp in Bavaria from Saturday onwards and was also a doubt for Bayern’s Asian tour which starts on July 24.

    Speaking to reporters in his homeland, he said: “This kind of things can happen. It happened. We were able to solve this small problem.

    “Sometimes it’s good to solve problems, but maybe not in this way. It’s behind us now. We’ll try to fight together to help the club achieve its goals next season.

    “I’m on vacation with the family. It was a very complicated season, it happens. It wasn’t a surprise, I expected things to be a bit complicated. It’s normal.

    “I love challenges, and Bayern is a big challenge. It’s up to me to do everything to meet this challenge.”

    The former Liverpool striker has been linked with a return to England, where Newcastle United and Chelsea are keen.

    But Mane added: “God willing. If everything goes well, I’m going to return to Bayern.”

    Both teams finish on same points, 71pts, but Bayern won due to superior goal difference of 15.

    That win, coupled with Dortmund’s shock home defeat to Mainz on the same day, saw Thomas Tuchel’s team leapfrog their rivals into first place and steal the Bundesliga crown Bayern have now won the championship 11 times in a row.

    The win brings a positive end to what has been a chaotic season for Bayern. They sacked coach Julian Nagelsmann in March and replaced him with Tuchel, but the ex-Chelsea coach’s tenure has not been a smooth one.
