Tottenham 'to offer Harry Kane post-playing career at club'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to offer Harry Kane a post-playing career at the club in a bid to keep him this summer, amid interest from Bayern Munich.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to offer Harry Kane a post-playing career at the club in order to keep the striker at Spurs this summer.

The 29-year-old bagged 30 Premier Leagues goals for the Lilywhites last term, with only Manchester City's Erling Haaland netting more for the treble-winning Citizens.

The 2022-23 term was also a successful one for Kane on international duty, with the striker becoming England's all-time record goalscorer after finding the net in the Three Lions' win against Italy in March.

Having now scored 58 goals in 84 matches for Gareth Southgate's side, the forward will be looking to earn his first club silverware next season before leading the line for England during next summer's European Championships in Germany.

According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are willing to offer Kane a post-playing career at the club if it means that he will commit his long-term future to the North London outfit.

Former Spurs players have been placed into positions at the club following their retirements, with the likes of Ledley King and Ryan Mason taking up roles as ambassadors and first-team coaches respectively.

Although Kane is not immediately approaching his retirement, it is believed that the Lilywhites are preparing to use the promise of post-playing opportunities as a way to convince him to sign fresh terms.

It is understood that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has offered the club legend a new deal which would take his salary in excess of £400,000 per week, however it is said that the Englishman has no plans to put pen to paper on the proposal.

Kane currently has one year left on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich keen on making him the focal point of their attack next season.

Thomas Tuchel is looking for an out-and-out replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who left the Allianz Arena to join Barcelona in La Liga last summer.

The Bavarians are reportedly willing to sell seven first-team players in order to raise the funds necessary to purchase Kane, with the player and former Chelsea boss Tuchel said to have engaged in initial talks over a possible move last month.

Paris Saint-Germain are the latest club who have been touted with an interest in the forward, and it is understood that Les Parisians are willing to do whatever it takes to lure the 29-year-old to Ligue 1 this summer.

The host of potential suitors are said to be reluctant to meet Levy's £120m asking price for Kane, with the striker available on a free transfer next summer at the expiration of his contract in North London.

Manchester United have also been heavily linked as a potential destination for Spurs' all-time top goalscorer, however it is understood that the Red Devils are currently prioritising a deal for Atalanta BC attacker Rasmus Hojlund.
