Teddy Sheringham left "bemused" by Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich
Teddy Sheringham has questioned Harry Kane's decision to leave Tottenham and join Bayern Munich, claiming he should have stayed for another season and joined either Manchester United or Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2024.
Kane has completed a record-breaking £100m move to the Bundesliga giants, putting pen to paper on a lucrative four-year contract that will keep him at the Allianz Arena until 2027. However, former Spurs striker Sheringham has been left "bemused" by the move, claiming that although Bayern are a "massive, fantastic football club" he felt there "would be a better move on the table" for Kane.
"It's a move I don't really get to be honest," Sheringham told Lord Ping. "The German league isn't a league that you would get overexcited about being part of as a player. Over the years we've had Serie A and La Liga that look like sexy leagues to go and play in, especially if you're playing for one of the top clubs over there.
"The Bundesliga doesn’t have the same appeal for me. Bayern Munich are a massive, fantastic football club, but because of their resources, they are expected to win the league every year and nearly always do.
"It's a little bit of a forgone conclusion that Bayern will win the title each year in Germany. I'm a little bit bemused by the move, but Harry will have his own reasons. At this stage in his career, you want to be playing in the best possible team you can against the best teams in the Champions League, which is one thing that Bayern can offer him.

"I am a little bemused by him going to Germany. I thought that there would be a better move on the table for him." Sheringham also rubbished any suggestion one of the reasons Kane decided to join Bayern this summer instead of waiting until his contract expires next year is so that Tottenham would get a hefty fee for him.
"I wouldn't have thought that Kane would have been thinking about Tottenham reinvesting the money they got for him would have had any influence over his decision to move to Bayern," Sheringham added. "That would have been an afterthought at most.

If I was in Harry's shoes, I would have looked at the situation and thought about Real Madrid and Manchester United, two lovely options to have on a free transfer.
"I don't think he would have ever considered a move to Chelsea or Arsenal on a free, although I'm absolutely certain that both clubs would have made him an offer if the opportunity presented itself. The only two moves that would have been a serious option for him were Manchester United and Real Madrid and I think they would have been far better options for Kane.
"I saw Kane after the German Super Cup game at the weekend that Bayern lost 3-0. He was sitting there on his own; he looked a little bit lost. I really hope that he doesn’t live to regret making the decision to join Bayern Munich this summer."
