This situation is nuanced but it's not that complicated, and it's as I've been saying.
The narrative as I see it:
Kane would like to go to Bayern this summer. He knows Bayern need to cough up what Levy is asking for; this part is very simple. He has a feeling of his worth, so if no other club offers that value to us, he's fine with sticking around for the last season of this contract.
And yes, the article does mention that there's a chance Kane becomes absolutely enamored with Ange's project and that he eventually signs a new contract. For me, I think there's a 5-10% chance of that happening. I guess you could say the failure he would be Levy's for not trying to continually tie Kane down to a new contract every 2-3 years, but at some point, even with the best offer Levy could put forward, Kane could've just refused to sign a new contract. Last summer was IMO the last chance to get that done, so since then, I've accepted that there's a chance we decide to sell him or release him for nothing at the end of the 23-24 season. BTW, not blaming Levy; just saying that's his responsibility, but can also acknowledge sometimes things are simply out of your hands.
