Original Title: [BILD] Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “I had my 1st contact with Harry Kane in 2021 when he was on vacation at Bahamas. I told Kane he was our most important transfer. I spoke my own transfer to Inter in 1984. I had everything at Bayern, I was the king, but I still wanted to gain new experience abroad.”
All of Rummenigge’s quotes in his interview at Bild’s postcast Phrasenmäher, speaks in detail about the signing of Harry Kane:
We all agreed in our transfer committee from day one that we wanted to make this transfer happen. Everyone then had their task, mine was to keep in touch with Harry. I talked to him a lot and immediately realized what a good guy he is. I had the first contact when he was still on vacation in the Bahamas. I texted him telling him that I would like to talk to him on the phone and he answered within two minutes, which is not the norm in the WhatsApp world
I told him: We will do everything for this transfer to happen because we are all convinced that you are the most important man in the entire transfer market for us. I also told him about my own transfer to Inter in 1984. I had everything at FC Bayern, I was practically the king, but I still wanted to gain this new experience abroad - I told him that it wasn’t an easy transfer for me either.
Harry Kane was a must do transfer for us for a number of reasons. At the end of the day, during the negotiations, I also said to Jan (Dreesen) that I’m completely open: 10 million euros to the left or right should not stop this transfer. Because, in addition to his footballing quality, Harry Kane brings back a very important fact for us - hierarchy!"
