Kane Didn’t Try To Tap Me Up For Bayern Munich – Trippier

Newcastle defender, Kieran Trippier has come out to insist that Harry Kane did not try and tap him up for a transfer to Bayern Munich. He, however, revealed that a few banter texts were exchanged, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he was shocked to see that Bayern Munich wanted to sign him at 33 years old, but even if Kane texted him a couple of times, he just felt like it wasn’t the right thing for him.

Trippier added that Harry is a top professional, so he would never try to tap any player up.

His words, “It’s actually crazy, to be honest, because I was in New York and I was woken up at 5am their time saying, ‘Bayern Munich want to sign you’, so I was like, ‘This is a bit random’. I never thought at 33 years old that Bayern Munich would want to sign me, so it was more of a shock to me than anybody. Then I just got on the phone to the manager straight away and to be honest the manager knows the commitment I’ve got for the club. I never once tried to force a move out of the club. I’m here now and the owners know the commitment I have shown to the club.

I am here now, the owners know the commitment I showed to the club. I speak to Harry all the time. Harry was texting me, of course, but it just wasn’t the right thing for me. But I take it as a compliment that a club like Bayern Munich wanted to sign me. He wasn’t pushing, he was just texting ‘Is it true?, just little things like that, really, just telling me it’s warmer than Newcastle and having a bit of banter. But no, Harry’s a professional, he wouldn’t try and tap me up, as we say. There was nothing to say, really.”

WOW.
