    Chelsea are now managed by Mauricio Pochettino, who enjoyed an incredible relationship with the forward during his time in North London.
    But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy’s strained and storied relationship with the Blues makes a deal incredibly unlikely.
    It gives Bayern a clear path to signing Kane as they look to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
    Lewandowski left for Barcelona in 2022 after eight years in Munich, where he won EIGHT league titles and the Champions League.
    Bayern’s top scorer last season was winger Serge Gnabry, followed by Jamal Musiala.
    And despite still having Thomas Muller and ex-Liverpool wideman Sadio Mane, they are without a recognised No9.
    That has led the Bundesliga kings to make Kane their No1 target this summer.

    Falk, who writes for Bild, told BBC 5 Live: “Thomas Tuchel is working like a manager in England so can decide who is coming and who is not and there have been talks with Kane’s family.
    “Bayern Munich would not have made an offer if they weren’t sure that Harry Kane would go. First step was clearing the detail with Kane’s family and then making the offer.

    “The point is that Bayern are in another league. Kane has a gentleman’s agreement with Daniel Levy that he is allowed to go to another league if there is another offer that he is really interested in.
    “Now, yes, Harry Kane wants the move because you know the thing about Tottenham and titles. If you go to Bayern Munich, it’s a title guaranteed and this is the main interest for Kane at the moment.

    “If he won’t move this summer, then they will wait. Tottenham have to decide if they want to get €80m, or even €90m, but next year there is no money for Harry Kane.”
    Privately, Levy has not given up hope of convincing Kane to pen a new deal in North London.
    And the club insist no bid has been lodged for their star man.
    Real Madrid had been keen but have reportedly cooled their interest.
    Manchester United have also been linked with Kane but didn’t hold out much hope that the signing was possible. More
