It is looking increasingly likely Harry Kane will stay with Tottenham, despite Bayern Munich agreeing a deal worth close to £100m to sign the England captain.
Bayern are willing to pay £86m up front for Kane, with add-ons taking the deal close to £100m – a record for the club.
There are also issues to resolve between the England captain and Spurs if he is to join Bayern, and the German champions are now aware that the move is not as straightforward as they previously believed.
Kane has one year left on his contract and, with no indication he will renew his deal, Spurs felt agreeing a move was the best worst-case scenario.
Kane wants his future resolved before Tottenham’s season-opening Premier League game at Brentford on Sunday August 13.

Kane scored 30 Premier League goals last season in a disappointing campaign for Spurs as they finished eighth to miss out on European football, while they remain without a trophy since 2008.
Bayern Munich yesterday reportedly reached a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for the transfer of England captain Harry Kane, according to several English and German media.
Bayern, who did not comment on the reports, have been trying to sign the striker for months with any deal worth around an estimated 100 million euros ($110.19 million).
Should the deal be sealed it would be the biggest transfer in Bundesliga history. German media said the clubs were preparing the contracts but the player still had to pass a medical in Munich.
The Bavarians, who won the league for a record 11th successive time last season, have been desperate to bring Kane in as they look to boost their attack and battle for the Champions League title once more.
The Athletic website reported it was now up to Kane, who has one more year on his Tottenham deal, to accept the German club’s offer.
Bayern kick off their season tomorrow with the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga starts next week with Bayern facing Werder Bremen on Aug. 18.
