The Mail on Sunday reports that Bayern Munich will this week again make a second bid for England captain Harry Kane, but Tottenham Hotspur are expected to turn them down again.
Harry Kane has entered the final year of his contract with Spurs, and chairman Daniel Levy should consider accepting an offer this summer, or the possibility that Harry Kane will eventually commit to a new deal before he can leave for free next summer.
The report says the new bid will be in the region of £70m, an increase from the initial £56m proposal, but the north London club are looking closer to £100m for the striker.
Spurs flew out on their pre-season tour to Australia, Thailand and Singapore on Friday, and Bayern are eager to secure a transfer while the player is still in Europe.
Bayern Munich are unlikely to raise their bid above £70 million due to the player’s age and contract status, so it now looks unlikely he will make a move to the Bundesliga, at least this summer.
Harry Kane will become a free agent when his contract with Spurs expires at the end of next season, but he wants to join Bayern this summer.
Sources have told ESPN that Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel met Kane in London a few weeks ago and the striker is intrigued by the idea of winning trophies with the German giants.
According to sources, Kane’s brother and agent Charlie has been in constant contact with Bayern ahead of a possible transfer.
New Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou said on Wednesday he could not make any guarantees over Kane’s future, but added he would like to speak to the player once he returns from his holiday.
If Kane outlines his desire to leave the club, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will have to decide whether they want to risk losing a player for free next year or if they are prepared to lose him now for a huge fee.
Reports in England claim Spurs could offload him for £100m this summer but ESPN sources add Bayern are reluctant to pay that figure.
According to sources, Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring the situation with clubs interested in signing Kane.
The Ligue 1 champions are waiting to see how negotiations go between Bayern and Spurs before making a move for the striker.
