Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeness has claimed the German giants only paid €95m (£82.1m) for Harry Kane this summer.
Fabrizio Romano reported in the summer, after the conclusion of the deal to take Kane to the Allianz Arena, that the transfer was worth £104m including add-ons.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold subsequently suggested that the fee could rise to as high as £120m if certain add-ons are met.
However, we have heard quite different numbers from the Bayern hierarchy so far, with the chairman of the club’s supervisory board, Herbert Hainer claiming last week that they would not even have to pay €100m (£86.7m) for the striker unless they win silverware (FAZ via TZ).

Harry Kane may have been cheaper than first thought
Hoeness has now become the latest Bayern official to assert that the Bundesliga giants have paid a considerably lower fee than reported for the 30-year-old.
He said (via Fabrizio Romano): “We only spent 95 million euros to sign Kane.”
The England captain has started the campaign in red-hot form for Bayern, with his assist against Freiburg on Sunday taking his tally to 14 goal contributions in nine matches across all competitions so far (Transfermarkt).
Spurs Web Opinion
Both Bayern and Tottenham are going to put out figures that are favourable to them to make it seem like they ‘won’ the negotiations. In reality, any conditional add-ons that are dependent on Bayern winning the Bundesliga are a near certainty, given their record.
