Bayern Munich are working with “highest priority” to recruit England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, but the deal has not yet been finished, according to the German club’s manager on Friday.
Thomas Tuchel’s comments came after British media reported that the 30-year-old striker was headed to Germany for a medical with Bayern Munich following weeks of negotiations.
Bayern Munich allegedly accepted a bid of 100 million euros ($110 million) for Kane on Thursday, with the player deciding whether or not to go.
Several British media outlets stated that Kane, Tottenham’s all-time leading scorer, would travel to Germany for a physical on Friday.
But Bayern boss Tuchel told a press conference that reporters “probably know more than I do” where Kane is right now and what he is doing.
“We are working hard on it… that is no secret,” he said, adding the matter was being given “the highest priority”.
“But as of now there is no decision. As long as there is no agreement, the coach is not going to talk about it, as it is not his player.”
Kane has one year left on his contract with Spurs.
He has never won a major trophy but appears set to join a Bayern side who have won 11 straight Bundesliga titles.
Tuchel’s men kick off their season against RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday, before Spurs face Brentford in their Premier League opener on Sunday.
