Chelsea is reportedly considering a surprise move for Harry Kane amid revelations about his current situation at Bayern Munich.
Kane’s departure from Tottenham Hotspur, where he held the record for the most goals scored, saw him join Bayern for a hefty £82 million fee during the summer transfer window.
Despite his impressive record of 28 goals in 29 appearances for the Bavarian club, Kane’s season may not culminate in a title win.
Bayern’s hopes of securing an unprecedented 12th consecutive Bundesliga title appear to be fading, especially after a shocking defeat to third-tier side Saarbrucken in the DFB Pokal back in November.
Following a recent 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, coached by Xabi Alonso, Bayern now find themselves eight points behind Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea in the league standings.
Furthermore, Bayern’s woes extended to the Champions League, where they suffered a defeat to Lazio in the first leg of the round of 16.
Kane received criticism from German publication BILD for his performance in that match.
Amidst these developments, Chelsea is said to be closely monitoring Kane’s situation at the Allianz Arena. Rumors suggest that there are murmurs within Chelsea circles indicating that Kane may not be entirely content with his current situation in Munich.
Despite having spent only a few months at Bayern, Chelsea hopes that Kane is eager to return to the Premier League sooner rather than later.
Kane’s development under Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs and his reputation as a prolific goal scorer make him an attractive prospect for Chelsea, who are reportedly willing to match the hefty fee Bayern paid to secure his services from Tottenham.
Kane himself remains optimistic about Bayern’s prospects and is not disillusioned by the recent setbacks.
He emphasized the need for the team to come together and continue fighting for both the Champions League and Bundesliga titles.
“We have to find it among ourselves,” Kane stated in an interview with TNT Sports. “Both this tie and the race for the Bundesliga are still ongoing. We must continue to battle. We are going through a tough time.
We must battle together. We need to make a change. There are big games and big prizes up for grabs. We won’t give up; we’re not done yet. All we have to do is flip it around. It can be changed by a single game or spark.”
