Julian Nagelsmann has not ruled out Bayern Munich signing Tottenham superstar Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich, who are looking to replace Robert Lewandowski, who left the club in acrimonious circumstances this window for Barcelona, have reportedly identified Kane as the ideal man to step into the void left by the magical Pole.
Speaking to the press amid Bayern Munich’s pre-season training in the United States, the young manager refused to rule out a future move for Kane, leaving open the possibility that the England captain could one day join the German giants.

Nagelsmann said: “He’s very expensive, that’s the problem – but a brilliant player, one of two or three who can play as a centre-forward [as well as a] Not 10 but he is very strong, brilliant with [his] the head and both legs,” he added.
“He can score a lot in the Bundesliga, I don’t know the price, but it’s really difficult for Bayern Munich. We will see what happens in the future.
Rumors have been rife that Kane could make a move to the Bavarian club, especially following Lewandowski’s public departure from the German champions.

Robert Lewandowski left the German giants this summer after eight years in Bayern
Lewandowski, who had just one year left on his contract with the German giants, publicly announced earlier this summer that he wanted to leave after something “died” inside him between him and the club.
Kane himself made it clear he wanted to leave Spurs last summer, with Manchester City making various offers for him. The Englishman is believed to have wanted to leave his boyhood club after becoming disillusioned with the team’s management.
Bild, a German tabloid, reported on Friday that Bayern Munich had dissuaded Kane’s representatives from a summer move. The answer is said to have been a firm no to a move this summer after he committed to staying at the club under Antonio Conte.

Kane has less than two years left on his current contract at Spurs and this season will prove to be decisive as to whether his long-term future lies in the N17 or elsewhere.
Indeed, Nagelsmann is not the only senior Bayern Munich official who has recently spoken of his admiration for Kane as a player.
Oliver Kahn, the legendary goalkeeper now chief executive of Bayern Munich, described the England striker as a “top striker” but said it was a “dream for the future”.
“He has a contract with Tottenham,” he said.
“Of course, an absolute top striker, but all this is a dream of the future. Now we have to think about getting the team together for the current season. So let’s see what else happens.
