Harry Kane is open to joining Bayern Munich this summer after the German club launched a shock bid to sign the Tottenham striker.
The Bundesliga side, managed by former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, are confident that the England captain would accept a move to Bavaria this summer.
Tottenham are adamant Kane is not for sale and would reject all offers for their talisman.
Munich have approached Tottenham over a £60million proposal, which falls way below the Premier League club’s £100million valuation.
It now remains to be seen whether Munich return with an improved offer to further test Spurs’ resolve to keep Kane at the club for Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge.

Indeed, Bayern would unlikely have put Kane at the top of their summer recruitment plans without some form of encouragement that he would join them.

There is also a feeling that should he move abroad, that Kane can one day return to the Premier League to break Shearer’s record of 260 goals. Kane has scored 216.
Kane is 29, and there is a belief he can play on until at least his late 30s. The striker is over the injury problems that hindered part of his career and his professionalism off the pitch has raised expectation that he could play for another decade.
