Bayern are prepared to offer Tottenham an initial payment of £86m for Kane, with additional bonuses potentially raising the overall deal to approximately £100m - a figure that would set a new record for the club.

With only one year remaining on his contract and no sign of him intending to extend it, Spurs believed that reaching an agreement for his transfer was the most favorable outcome in the worst-case scenario.

Tottenham's first Premier League match of the season will be held at Brentford on Sunday, August 13, and will be broadcast live on We. Despite a disappointing campaign last season, where Spurs finished eighth and missed out on European football, Harry Kane managed to score an impressive 30 goals in the Premier League. It's worth noting that the club has not won a trophy since 2008.

Having initiated his scoring journey in December 2011, Kane has impressively accumulated a total of 280 goals during his 435 appearances for Spurs.

With 213 goals in 320 Premier League games, he is currently 48 goals off breaking Alan Shearer's record as the highest scorer in Premier League history.

According to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich has informed him that they have reached an initial agreement with Tottenham for the acquisition of Harry Kane. However, the deal is not completely finalized as there are still some details that need to be sorted out between the clubs. This process is currently underway.

I find it hard to believe that Kane would refuse. The circumstances are completely different compared to Kyle Walker, as Kane has clearly expressed his desire to join Bayern. He has a verbal agreement that allows him to sign a contract until 2028.

The contract will span five years, with the possibility of additional options. Kane would become the highest-paid player, and Bayern is absolutely confident that he will join them.

"This is the reason Bayern never gave up and continued to negotiate with Daniel Levy. Now, it is close to being done."

View from Germany: I can't imagine Kane saying 'no'

We' Paul Merson:

Tottenham should not refuse this offer considering there is only one year remaining on his contract, knowing that he might leave without any transfer fee at the end.

Although he is already 30 years old, I disregard that factor because he possesses the ability to continue playing until the age of 35 or 36 effortlessly. His style of play does not heavily rely on speed; in fact, his intelligence on the field is on par with anyone else's.

I am still surprised today, wondering why Manchester United did not acquire him. If they had, they could have benefited from his skills for a solid four or five years and potentially secured the Premier League title.

There isn't any alternative - surely they cannot allow him to leave for free next season. Regardless of who you are, especially in the current era where there is considerable financial investment in the Premier League, it would be illogical not to retain him.

Will this Tottenham team secure a top-four finish next season? I highly doubt it. So, it's not a guarantee that keeping him will ensure a top-four finish. Hence, whatever we lose by selling him, we can recover it through the Champions League. However, this scenario is highly unlikely.

Kane's remarkable 30-goal tally last season did not result in a successful position for Spurs. It is unfortunate for Ange Postecoglou, but without him, the team's chances of reaching the top half are slim. In fact, they won't even make it to the top half! If he departs, they will undoubtedly become a bottom-half team.

"Who is going to get the goals? They finished eighth last season. I like James Maddison, he's a good player, but Leicester got relegated."

Merse: Spurs are bottom half if Kane goes

Kane is yet to claim a trophy during his time at Tottenham. As Tottenham's chairman, Daniel Levy, engages in negotiations with Bayern Munich's CEO, Harry Kane will carefully consider the potential benefits and value that a move could provide for him.

Content must be written in English:

Although he has expressed his willingness to make the switch, his conviction that it would be unjust to depart without a deal in place prior to the inaugural Premier League game of the season serves as a poignant testament to his unwavering devotion to his childhood club.

Naturally, for Kane, this endeavor transcends monetary gain. While he would undoubtedly become Bayern's highest-paid player, the impetus behind this move lies in securing his lasting impact and legacy.

Given this, the Premier League's goalscoring record holds significant weight. Kane has been vocal about his desire to achieve this prestigious achievement, in addition to his scoring records for both Tottenham and England. It has been previously used as a basis for arguing against his move abroad. Considering he scored 30 goals last season, this record is well within reach. Senior journalist Peter Smith examines the dilemma that Kane is currently confronting.

Sentimental quest for success or Bayern's trophy charge?

Bayern Munich is in search of economical options, although they do not necessarily require them. As the 33-time champions of Germany, with their last 11 titles won consecutively, they are looking for the most skilled individual. In Kane, Bayern is reassured that they have found what they are looking for. This is the reason they are willing to surpass the Bundesliga transfer record in order to bring the England captain to Bavaria. Despite approaching the age of 30, it is hoped that Kane can make an immediate impact and assist Bayern in achieving their long-desired goal of winning the Champions League.

Bayern Munich require a striker, even though they were the top scorers in the Bundesliga last season with 92 goals. So, how much sense does a transfer to Bayern Munich make? Our feature writer, Adam Bate, provides an explanation...
