According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich are staging meetings to decide whether to make one last bid for Harry Kane or wait for his contract to run, as their latest offer was understood to be still at least £10m short of what Tottenham would accept.
The England striker wants his immediate future settled before the Premier League starts this weekend, which puts another element of time pressure on the deal. Bayern had hoped to agree a deal for the England skipper but it is understood the two sides remain apart in their valuation of the 30-year-old.
The Bundesliga champions had suggested if their bid for Kane was unsuccessful on this occasion they would move on to other transfer targets. However, with over three weeks of the transfer window left, it remains to be seen whether that is the case.

Kane, who has scored 280 goals in 435 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions, skippered Spurs in Sunday’s pre-season match against Shakhtar Donetsk. He has one year left on his contract with Tottenham and there have been no indications Kane would be willing to extend it.
Tottenham begin their Premier League campaign at Brentford on 13 August. Bayern kick off their season with a German Super Cup meeting with RB Leipzig a day earlier. The transfer window does not close until 1 September, but both sides would prefer a resolution before the new season begins.
