German news outlet SportBild claim that Harry Kane is willing to put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur to sell him to Bayern Munich this summer.
The report reiterates what we have heard from other sources over recent days, stating that Bayern are planning an improved offer for Kane after Spurs rejected their opening €70m (£60m) bid for the striker.
It is alleged that Daniel Levy is playing a game of ‘poker’ and could even be striving to get a fee of £100m for the 29-year-old. However, it is explained that the one thing that could work in Bayern’s favour is Kane’s willingness to move to the Allianz Arena.
The report states that Thomas Tuchel is in ‘constant contact’ with the Spurs star, who has made no secret of his desire to move to Bayern Munich in search of silverware.
Will Harry Kane ask to leave Spurs?
It is claimed that the England captain dreams of lifting the Champions League with the Bavarian club, which is an objective that is ‘even more important to him than money’.
Bild state that with Levy already having blocked Kane from leaving Spurs on a couple of occasions in the past, the striker is ‘ready to prevail against the club’ this time.
The publication adds that if necessary, the centre-forward ‘would even threaten’ to join Bayern on a free transfer in 2024 if Tottenham do not sell him in the current transfer window.
It is also suggested that while Levy would be willing to drag on the negotiations until the transfer deadline, Kane wants a quick resolution and would prefer to avoid going on a pre-season tour with the Spurs squad this month.

I fail to see a compelling reason why Kane would be so desperate to move to Bayern this summer, given that he will have the full power to choose his next destination as a free agent in 12 months.
However, my guy feeling is that if Bayern offer £90m plus add-ons, the Tottenham hierarchy would be seriously tempted to sell the 29-year-old.
