Bayern Munich ‘tell Harry Kane to hold off signing a new Tottenham contract’ with Julian Nagelsmann eyeing a potential move for the England captain next summer
- Bayern Munich bosses hope that Harry Kane does not extend his Spurs contract
- The England captain is currently on a deal at Tottenham Hotspur until 2024
- Bayern want the 29-year-old to not sign a new deal, so they can bid next summer
