JAKARTA - Bayern Munich recently commented on the possibility of signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane. The Bundesliga club are interested in bringing in the player to fill the position left by Robert Lewandowski.

However, the statement infuriated the Tottenham Hotspur manager. He said Bayern's actions were really disrespectful because they talked about players who still belonged to other clubs.

"I don't know why (Kane was linked with Bayern). The situation is very clear at Tottenham and Harry is a very important part of the club's project," Conte said.

"I don't like talking about players from other clubs. Maybe this is a bit disrespectful to other clubs," continued the former Juventus and Inter Milan coach.

Previously, Bayern coach Julien Nagelsmann said Kane would fit perfectly at Bayern. However, the problem is the price tag of the player.

"He's very expensive, that's the problem, but he's a brilliant player, one of two or three who can play as a centre-forward (and also) a number 10, he's very strong, brilliant with his head and with both feet," Nagelsmann said on Friday.

"He can score a lot of goals in the Bundesliga, I don't know the price, but it's very tough for Bayern Munich. We'll see what happens later," he continued.

Bayern chief executive Oliver Kahn, also once told Bild that Kane is a world-class striker. But he said his transfer might happen later.

"He is still under contract at Tottenham," said Kahn. "Sure, he's a top striker, but that's all a dream for the future. Just wait and see what happens."
