Harry Kane is not yet desperate for a move away from Tottenham, unlike last summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The England international is happy with life at Spurs under new manager Antonio Conte, and the club are also keen to tie up their star player with a new contract, according to Romano in the latest edition of his exclusive column CaughtOffside.
It has been a pleasure to watch Kane in his career at Tottenham, but despite being one of the best strikers in world football, he is yet to win a title.
It would be a shame to see Kane miss out on the biggest prizes the game has to offer, but it could also be that he wants his chances to end Spurs’ drought now that Conte is club manager.
Either way, for now there doesn’t seem to be much to read about those links with Bayern Munich, while Romano also denied there is any chance of a swap deal with Chelsea involving Romelu Lukaku.
“A year ago Kane wanted to leave, but now he is happy at Tottenham with Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici,” Romano said. “The Italians have changed the feeling at the club, so now Kane is in no hurry to leave the club, the situation is completely different from a year ago.
“There is no agreement on a new contract yet, but it is not a dangerous situation. Let’s see how it evolves in the coming months, it’s a work in progress, as is normal when talking about a contract for a top player.
“There have been rumors involving Chelsea and a trade deal involving Romelu Lukaku as we know Lukaku was fantastic under Conte at Inter but as of now there is absolutely nothing to this story. It’s just a rumour.

“There have also been a lot of rumors about Bayern. It is true that in 2023 they will go for a striker to replace Robert Lewandowski. Kane is highly regarded by Bayern, but there have never been any talks with Tottenham. At the moment, they are just fans of the player, but nothing happens in terms of negotiations.
“The speculation is normal, but at the moment the main thing is that Kane is not desperate to leave and Tottenham want to extend his contract.”
Surely Kane would be a dream signing for Chelsea, but it’s not often that we see these two London rivals doing business together.
