Gareth Southgate has no problems with huge Harry Kane transfer as Bellingham cited in reasoning | OneFootball

Bayern Munich target Harry Kane is offered new deal by Spurs.

England manager Gareth Southgate has explained why Harry Kane moving to Bayern Munich would not be a problem, as he cited the situation with Jude Bellingham.

Kane is a highly sought after man this summer. Following a season in which he bagged 30 Premier League goals, it’s little surprise that big sides want him.

That tally is even more impressive considering he was essentially the only player at Tottenham that did anything of note. Indeed, they finished eighth and Kane scored more than double the amount of goals as the next-highest scorer, Heung-min Son.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich are the two main sides vying for Kane’s signature. The Bundesliga giants have already lodged one bid, and are reportedly readying an ‘improved’ offer.

Given Daniel Levy doesn’t want to sell within the Premier League, Bayern seems the most likely destination of the two.

England boss Southgate has weighed in on whether or not it would be a problem for Kane to up sticks to a foreign country, citing Three Lions teammate Bellingham’s prior situation as a reason there would be no issue.

“I think with the players we’ve had abroad, we had Jude Bellingham in Dortmund, and we had a very good relationship with Borussia Dortmund when Jude was there for example,” he said on BBC Test Match Special.

“We’re such a small world now that we can fly and see them, we can go to the training grounds, we knows the coaches abroad, our medical teams connect.”

Despite links with English clubs, Bellingham has made a move to another country, joining Real Madrid in Spain.

Southgate reiterated that won’t be a problem, so things would run smoothly if Kane was to play abroad, too.

“These are top clubs and it’s easy to have as good a connection with Real Madrid where Bellingham is now compared to one of our big clubs really,” Southgate added.

The manager did not mention what it would be like for Kane on the pitch. Surely he’s more likely to remain and try to break the Premier League goals record than go to another country.

However, it will be nice for Kane to know his national team manager would back him moving abroad if he wanted to.
