As night falls, Bayern Munich's onslaught on Tottenham Hotspur has intensified as they are about to extend the olive branch for the third time, targeting Halikani, who is still under a 1-year contract, for a whopping 100 million euros (about HK$85.4 million). In order to accelerate the deal, Bayern not only raised their offer, but also cleverly included a buy-back clause. In the face of such sincerity, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Livi's stance is beginning to loosen, and it seems that a successful deal is just around the corner.
Recall that not long ago, Halikani balked at Tottenham's offer of a £400,000 (about HK$4 million) per week contract extension, and majority shareholder Luis Zuñez decisively ordered the player to be put up for sale in order to avoid a double loss. According to the Daily Telegraph, Bayern will raise the stakes again by increasing their offer to 100 million euros with a buy-back right, which entitles Tottenham to buy back the player for 45 million euros. To this end, Bayern senior management will personally set foot in London, and Tottenham Hotspur chairman Levy to start a new round of negotiations offensive.
