But why are both clubs playing against each other twice? According to Bild, the background is the transfer of Bayern striker Harry Kane. The Englishman switched from Tottenham to Bayern last year. The friendly matches are reportedly part of the transfer agreement between the clubs. The proceeds from the matches are intended to flow entirely to the Spurs.

Kane himself will definitely be present at the match, even though he just returned from his vacation on Wednesday. “Of course, he will fly with us to London because it is in a way also his game. And then we will prepare him step by step,” confirmed sporting director Max Eberl.
