Kane’s desire to stay in England has been an underlying theme throughout Bayern Munich’s courtship of the striker. It was always going to be a longshot to convince him to leave England, especially given how close he is to Alan Shearer’s Premier League career goal scoring record of 260. Kane currently has 208, and at 29-years-old, should have an excellent chance to set a new standard.

Bayern Munich was not 100% sure about Kane, though. For as much as the club likes him, Sadio Mané’s struggles this season have made the team’s power brokers a little wary of how foreign players might adjust to life in Bavaria:

Within the club, there are also fears that Kane would struggle adjusting in a new country and face a similar situation to Sadio Mané.

So…there you have it. It appears that the Kane-to-Bayern Munich rumors might finally be put to bed. Who’s up next?
