Uli Hoeness praised Harry Kane as Bayern Munich’s greatest signing and dismissed transfer links with Barcelona in blunt fashion.
Harry Kane continues to rewrite his story at Bayern Munich, and club icon Uli Hoeness has made one thing clear, there is no intention of letting him leave.
After Bayern lifted the DFB-Pokal with a dominant final performance, Hoeness delivered huge praise for the England captain and quickly dismissed transfer speculation linking him with Barcelona.
Kane played a decisive role once again and underlined why Bayern invested so heavily to bring him from Tottenham.
Speaking after the trophy celebrations, Hoeness did not hesitate when asked about Kane's place among Bayern's signings.
"Harry Kane is the best transfer we've ever made."
That statement carries weight considering the list of stars who have played in Munich over the decades.
Speculation around Kane's future has continued despite his success in Germany, with reports suggesting Barcelona had monitored the striker's situation.
Hoeness reacted with a smile and delivered a sharp response.
"Yes, and Barcelona have no money anyway."
The longtime Bayern figure also reinforced the club's identity and made clear they do not operate under pressure to sell their biggest stars.
"FC Bayern is a buying club, not a selling club."
Kane appears fully settled in Bavaria after finally collecting major silverware following years of frustration in England.
The striker has repeatedly spoken positively about life in Germany and has become the undisputed focal point of Bayern's attack.
Reports in Germany suggest the club would welcome extending his stay beyond his current deal.
For now, Bayern's message is straightforward.
Harry Kane stays in Munich.
