Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has claimed that the German club will not even have to pay €100m (£86.7m) for Harry Kane unless they win several trophies.
After the deal to bring Kane to the Allianz Arena was agreed in the summer, Fabrizio Romano said it would be worth £104m with add-ons.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold later claimed the fee could rise to £120m if certain add-ons are met.

However, Hainer has now stated that these figures are too high, as all bonuses are dependent on Bayern winning silverware.
The president of the German club told FAZ (via TZ): “Harry Kane did not pay more than 100 million euros – if we do not win this, this and this in the coming seasons. Without bonuses we are less than 100 millions of euros.
Kane has certainly been on target since his summer debut, with the forward making 13 contributions (nine goals and four assists) in eight games across all competitions.
Hainer pointed out that Bayern had to pay a premium for the Tottenham man because of the goal guarantee he offers, which few strikers in world football do.
He added: “There are only a few strikers in this category who, on the one hand, fit us and, on the other, make us better. And because there are only a few, they come at a price.
“With Harry Kane, we finally have a goal guarantee again – he stands where a striker has to stand and he also scores a lot of goals.”

Tottenham and Bayern will both put out favourable figures in order to show that they ‘won’ the negotiation. However, one would think that any add-ons which depend on Bayern winning the Bundesliga are close to a guarantee, given the club’s recent record.
