Antonio Conte has blasted Bayern Munich for their "disrespectful" comments on Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.
Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann refused to rule out a move for Kane after stating that he is "very expensive", but would "score a lot in the Bundesliga."
When asked about Nagelsmann's comments, Conte issued a defiant response, claiming that Bayern had been "disrespectful."
Conte told reporters: "Honestly I didn't hear this. For sure I'm a coach who doesn't talk about players from other teams. I don't know why [this happened]. The situation at Tottenham is very clear. The plan is very clear with the club.
"Harry is a part of the project. He is a very important part of the project and yeah only rumours. At the same time, I don't like to speak about players from another club. If I want to do something I go to speak to the club, not through the media.
"I think maybe it's a bit disrespectful for the other club. This is my way. This is my way to face the situation with other players."
Kane scored both goals in Tottenham's 2-1 friendly win over Rangers on Saturday, and the Englishman is expected to feature next weekend when Spurs face a Roma side managed by former boss Jose Mourinho.
