It went back and forth for a long time, but in the end FC Bayern got their absolute dream player in Harry Kane. The German record champions transferred almost 95 million euros to Tottenham Hotspur, and this sum could increase even further with bonus payments.
While there were still critical voices in the summer regarding the enormous price for a 30-year-old, they have long since fallen silent. The English national captain impresses with outstanding performances and has already scored 21 goals in 16 games across all competitions. He also added seven hits.

What the numbers literally scream corresponds to the impression that spectators get in the stadium and in front of the screens: Kane makes the whole team better. On offense he is the crucial piece of the puzzle.
Without Harry Kane, little works at FC Bayern
This applies in both a positive and a negative sense. Without the clipper in top form, FC Bayern suffered their only two defeats: In the Supercup against Leipzig (0:3), Kane only came into the game after over an hour and made his debut at that time. He stayed out completely in the DFB Cup loss against Saarbrücken (1:2).

The record champions have developed a dependence on their center forward, but this is not surprising given his previous performances. In a comparison, the “Kicker” found out that, based on his Bundesliga goals, Kane is currently doing better than Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller in their record seasons.
When the Pole scored 41 goals in 2020/21, he had 13 goals after eleven match days, while Müller only had six goals in his 40-goal season. Kane, on the other hand, already has 17 league goals to his name. If he maintains this phenomenal rate, he would end up with 52 goals.
His fitness speaks for the Englishman. In the past two years he has not missed a single game for his former club Tottenham due to injury or illness. Even since his move to Munich, he has always been fit for action. When Thomas Tuchel needs Kane, the goal machine is there.
FC Bayern: Kane jerseys break records
The clipper is not only extremely popular with his trainer, but also with the fans. The “Kicker” reports that FC Bayern sold 20,000 Kane jerseys in the first weekend after the transfer. Like so many things surrounding the striker at the moment, this is a record. And the next one could follow soon.
Accordingly, the record champions expect that Kane’s jersey will be the best-selling jersey of all time by a single Bayern player by Christmas. The sales of all other stars are calculated for an entire season. The current top value is not far from the 100,000 mark.
By the end of this season, the Munich team ultimately expects the Englishman to become the first FCB professional to ever reach six figures. Any bonuses that are due to Tottenham will certainly be a little easier to pay. Especially when Kane shoots Bayern to one title or another with his goals.
In the international match on Saturday, it was the German national team that looked bad again. The 2-3 defeat against Turkey in the Berlin Olympic Stadium left players and fans with long faces.
