Chelsea Persist in Pursuit of Player Despite Earlier Rejection
Harry Kane allegedly informed Chelsea in 2021 that he would never transfer to Stamford Bridge after Thomas Tuchel was hired.
According to BILD in Germany, this is the case.
So, what did the German news source write in its entirety about Harry Kane and Chelsea? Let’s take a look…
What is the plot?
Well, BILD reported a new story about Tuchel’s renewed interest in the England international as Bayern Munich attempts to bring him to the Allianz Arena this summer.
According to the article, Tuchel attempted to convince Kane to join him at Chelsea in 2021, and Marina Granovskaia, the Director of Football at Stamford Bridge at the time, investigated the possibility of a transfer.
However, the Tottenham No. 10 informed her that he could never play for Chelsea, ostensibly out of fear of destroying his legacy with Spurs.
Intriguingly, BILD specifically states that ‘almost nobody knew’ this information.
Bayern Munich’s €70 million (£60 million) bid for Tottenham and England’s all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane was rejected, as Tuchel pushes to ultimately work with Kane.
Still, Chelsea wants Kane
Despite the 29-year-old’s adamant refusal to join Chelsea in 2021, it appears that the Blues are still interested.
According to a report from talkSPORT, Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to reunite with Harry Kane at Chelsea as he endeavors to bring a quality No. 9 to Stamford Bridge.
In addition, 90min stated that Tottenham entered the summer transfer window anticipating an offer from Chelsea for the London-born forward.
Currently, a move to Bayern Munich appears most probable for Kane, who BILD believes is eager to join the German powerhouses this summer.
However, nothing can be ruled out this summer, so be sure to monitor the situation of Tottenham’s star player.
