Tottenham have unusual 'gentleman’s agreement' clause in Harry Kane's Bayern Munich contract

Fabrizio Romano expanded on Daniel Levy's claims about the clause.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has detailed the clause in Harry Kane's Bayern Munich contract that will give Spurs the opportunity to 'match bids in the future'.

Kane penned a lucrative four-year deal at the reigning Bundesliga champions last summer after a club-record deal worth an initial £86 million plus add-ons was agreed.

A month later, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy claimed that the club have a "buy-back clause" to re-sign their former player.

Speaking at a fan forum alongside manager Ange Postecoglou and captain Heung-min Son, Levy said "there is a buy-back clause" and refused to elaborate on the situation further.

Since those claims emerged, however, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided further details behind the 'buy-back clause' term used by the Spurs chairman.

“Daniel Levy has spoken about a buy-back clause for Harry Kane after Tottenham agreed to sell him to Bayern Munich in the summer, and I just wanted to clarify some details with my sources and then give as much information as I can on here,” Romano told Caught Offside via Football365.

“After speaking with different sources, some have denied this information, while others have confirmed it, but added some different details, which makes it a bit different from being a simple buy-back clause.

“Some people close to the negotiation have explained that it is not a traditional buy-back clause, so it’s not the kind of clause that is going to allow Tottenham to sign Harry Kane again whenever they want.”

Romano went on to suggest that Bayern have simply agreed to inform Tottenham if they do decide to sell Kane.

“It’s just a clause agreed in private, denied by some sources, but confirmed by others, which means Bayern have agreed to inform Tottenham in the future if they decide to sell Kane,” Romano added.

“If they have proposals or bids, specifically from Premier League clubs, Tottenham will receive a formal call from Bayern to be informed of the situation.

“Tottenham will then have the possibility to match any proposals, but nothing changes on the player side, because ultimately Kane will be the one who decides his future, not Spurs or any other club.

“It’s a kind of gentleman’s agreement between Bayern and Tottenham to give them the opportunity to match bids in the future, but, again, only if Bayern decide to sell the player.”
