Harry Kane is set to join Bayern Munich? Tottenham Hotspur accept €100m deal

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane of England looks on prior to the UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying round group C match between Malta and England at Ta' Qali Stadium on June 16, 2023 in Valletta, Malta.

Tottenham Hotspur record scorer Harry Kane is edging closer to a move to Bayern Munich, with a €100 million deal agreed.

The England captain has just a year left on his current contract and Spurs risk losing him for a free contract, should he not sign another deal. So far, Kane has been reluctant to put pen to paper once more. 

Now, David Ornstein of the Athletic has broken the news a move has been agreed in principle between Bayern Munich and Tottenham – but the saga isn't quite over.

Despite the transfer fee now agreed between the two clubs, Kane has to choose whether to leave north London for the Bundesliga. The striker is just 47 goals short of the all-time record in the Premier League and could feasibly surpass Alan Shearer's total of 260 in the next couple of seasons.

Kane struck 30 last term but was denied the Golden Boot by Erling Haaland, who netted a record 36 en route to Manchester City clinching a third straight league title. According to Ornstein, Kane may choose to remain at the Lilywhites – especially given how life has begun under new management.

"The 30-year-old wanted the situation resolved before Tottenham’s opening fixture of the season at Brentford on Sunday," the report reads. "He is known to be enjoying life under new Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou and has been leaning towards staying."

The summer transfer window will close on Friday September 1, not just for the Premier League but all of Europe's top five leagues.

Kane is valued by Transfermarkt to be worth €90m.
