Hoeness on Bayern's reported interest in Kane: "Completely crazy"
Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness believes Harry Kane is way too expensive for the German champions.
Uli Hoeness has described Bayern Munich's reported interest in Harry Kane as "completely crazy".
The Bavarians have been linked with a move for the Tottenham star, who is out of contract in 2024, but the former club president believes the striker would be far too expensive.
"I think it would be a completely crazy transfer," Hoeness said at an event hosted by the Abendzeitung newspaper in Munich.
"Last year, Tottenham turned down a €160 million offer from Manchester City. Do you think he'll be cheaper this year? Harry Kane is a great player, no question. But I wouldn't pay that kind of money.
Although Hoeness is no longer the club's president, he's still a member of Bayern's supervisory board, which has to give the go-ahead for transfers over 25 million euros.
Bayern recently extended the contract of veteran striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting by another year until 2024.
The club's sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic, has since insisted that Choupo-Moting's extension has no bearing on Bayern's pursuit of Kane.
