Tottenham and Bayern Munich are both confident in reaching a deal over the transfer of Harry Kane, with the Bundesliga side set to improve on their €95m (£81.7m) offer.
Sky in Germany are reporting that although the total package Bayern are currently offering for the England captain has yet to increase, they plan to improve on the existing figure – which would already represent the largest transfer in the club’s history.
Bayern plan to offer Kane a five-year contract, taking him almost up to his 35th birthday. He would also become the club’s top earner.
There are currently no new meetings scheduled with Spurs after representatives from the two clubs met in London earlier this week, but all sides are now confident of a deal being struck.
Members of Spurs and Bayern’s hierarchy discussed Kane over lunch in the capital on Monday, with talks continuing into the afternoon before the visiting officials returned to Germany in the evening.
Spurs want at least £100m for their record goalscorer, who is understood to be open to speaking formally to Bayern should a deal be agreed.
Tottenham will also insist on a buy-back clause should Kane return to the Premier League.
Bayern Munich would likely have to break their transfer record to sign Kane, which currently stands as the €80m (£68.5m) they paid Atletico Madrid for Lucas Hernandez in 2019.
Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe arrived at Munich airport on Monday morning to fly to England and returned in the evening.
The clubs were due to meet last week but that session was rescheduled, while dialogue has remained open between the two sides about the future of the England captain.
The German champions are convinced Spurs’ record scorer wants to join them. Kane will not sign a new contract with Tottenham this summer and would prefer to join Bayern over other interested clubs.
French champions Paris Saint-Germain believe they are in the mix for Kane if Tottenham decide to sell. They will not be drawn into a bidding war, however.
