Harry Kane has officially arrived at Bayern. The England striker landed on Friday. Then the medical examination took place.

It’s my first big transfer,” Kane admitted, describing the last 48 hours before signing the contract as “a roller coaster ride”. He plans to use Monday’s holiday to see the city and “some apartments”. wants to
Transfers in the range of 100 million euros to FC Bayern Munich should remain an exception. “I wouldn’t say 100 million is the new normal. This is a huge amount for us,” said Munich CEO Jan-Christian Driessen during Kane’s official presentation. The club’s DNA has always been to invest heavily when you are sure of something. “I think That I can fairly judge that it was a fair amount that we spent for something that we’re pretty sure is the game.”
