      Three bids were rejected by Spurs before a fourth bid of around £94.5million was finally approved.
      Spurs chief Daniel Levy is understood to have been determined to stick to his reported £100m valuation.
      The deal would see Kane receive a salary of £21.6m per year in Germany – £415,000 per week.
      However, there is now a belief that Kane could REJECT the move.

      With an agreement in place between the clubs and personal terms reached, Kane has a big decision to make in the coming days.
      Lineker quickly took to Twitter to give his opinion on the saga.
      The former Spurs striker has a theory that the fee would not have been accepted if it wasn’t for Kane wanting the move.
      He said: “Seems Harry Kane is on his way to Bayern Munich. Clubs have agreed the fee. That would not have happened unless Harry wanted the move.”

      And Pavard’s name is on a four-man list earmarked to replace the England defender, according to the Mail Online.
      The versatile defender has been on United’s shortlist since the winter transfer window of last season.
      And, with one year left on his current contract, United may be able to recruit the World Cup-winner on an affordable deal and he is said to be “keen” on leaving.
      Jean-Clair Todibo, Edmond Tapsoba and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi are the other options reportedly in Ten Hag’s notebook.

      Tapsoba, 24, is out of contract next summer which is another key factor for United to explore.
      But his club, German side Bayer Leverkusen, will not be willing to let him go cheap.
      Todibo has excelled at Nice since an £8.5m move from Barcelona in 2021.
      The centre-half, 23, has also attracted interest from Juventus this summer but the Italians were put off by his £35m price-tag.

      While that could seem cheap compared to Guehi, who would come at a premium from Palace having received four England caps in the last year.
      Without Maguire, United are left with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof to play in the centre of defence, while Luke Shaw filled in on occasion last season.
      Eric Bailly remains on the books having returned from his loan at Marseille.
      While Jonny Evans is also still with the squad having signed a short-term deal foe pre-season.
      The veteran, 35, could stay on as an efficient short-term option as the club look for a younger alternative. More

      Bayern Munich order Tottenham to make Harry Kane transfer decision TONIGHT after submitting fresh £86m bid

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH have submitted one final £86million bid for Harry Kane and demanded Tottenham reply by midnight TONIGHT.The German giants want a deal resolved by the end of this week – and their new offer surpasses the £100million asking price, once a further £17million in add-ons are included.

      Bayern and Kane are now waiting for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to make the final call on his star player.
      The striker is into the final 12 months of his contract in North London and Levy risks losing the club’s greatest ever goalscorer for nothing next summer should he dig his heels in.
      The England captain has no intention of signing a new deal at this stage and could also discuss a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January.
      Bayern chief Thomas Tuchel is keen for a deal to be wrapped up quickly and club directors met with Levy in London on Monday for further talks.

      The Bundesliga champions are believed to have offered £81.7m bid earlier this week.
      Now The Telegraph and Sky Sports Germany say Bayern have launched an improved bid – £86m plus bonuses.
      Incredibly, they are insisting Spurs make their decision by midnight on Friday or they will move on to other options.
      A host of clubs, including Manchester United, have been linked with a move for 30-year-old Kane.

      However, Old Trafford manager Erik ten Hag instead moved for Rasmus Hojlund, who’s set to be unveiled on Saturday following a £72m move from Atalanta.
      And now Bayern could switch attention to other big names such as Victor Osimhen.
      Tottenham are believed to still be chasing around £100m for Kane.
      Monday’s talks ended in deadlock but the Telegraph claim Bayern chiefs were buoyed by the fact Levy was willing to meet – suggesting his stance on Kane departing has softened.

      Should the hitman not leave North London this summer, it’s thought he will see out the final year of his deal and leave on a free.
      However, it has been claimed both clubs remain “confident” a deal can be done before the September 1 deadline.
      Bayern plan to offer Kane a five-year contract.
      A deal for Tottenham’s all-time top scorer would shatter Bayern’s previous transfer record – which is is the £70m they paid Atletico Madrid for Lucas Hernandez in 2019.
      Kane is understood to have held talks with manager Thomas Tuchel with regards to a possible move.

      His wife Katie was also reportedly in Munich looking for a house last month as the move edges closer.

      According to Florian Plettenberg, Man Utd “never lost their focus on Goretzka” who is “on the Premier League club’s list”.
      The 28-year-old has insisted he wants to remain at the Bundesliga champs despite interest from United and also West Ham.
      Goreztka told Sky Germany: ” I have no intention to leave Bayern. I love the club, I love the city, I love the fans.”
      But ex-Chelsea boss Tuchel is said to prefer Joshua Kimmich and Konrad Laimer.

      And Ten Hag hopes that could change the Germany international’s mind.
      Sky Sports in Germany say Tuchel will happily sell Goretzka for around £43m, as they bid to fund their pursuit of Harry Kane.
      United have already recruited a midfielder Mason Mount this summer from Chelsea for £60milllion.
      Goretzka’s contract for the German club is set to run out in 2026 after signing a long-term contract back in 2021.

      After undergoing surgery for a knee injury, he started in 22 Bundesliga matches last season.
      But with the arrival of Laimer from RB Leipzig this summer and with emerging star Ryan Gravenberch pushing for a spot, Goretzka is no longer the main man in Tuchels starting XI.

      Szoboszlai celebrates Gakpo’s goal.. but fans spotted something was up with his shirt
      Szoboszlai starred at Leipzig before joining Liverpool and the German side had every sympathy for the Reds’ kitmen
      The kit department were nearly there but printed “Szosbozlai” on the back of Szoboszlai’s shirt – the right letters but in the wrong order.
      Also spotting the mistake was the Hungarian captain’s former team RB Leipzig, who had some words of comfort for the Reds.
      The German club tweeted: “You’ll get the hang of spelling Szoboszlai eventually, trust us.”
      But some fans on social media weren’t so forgiving.

      It was a decent performance from the Hungarian youngster who played 76 minutes.

      The midfielder joined the Reds from Leipzig for £60million.

      The winger only managed seven goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances last season with Thomas Tuchel’s side.
      The Senegal international also landed in hot water following a reported scuffle with team-mate Leroy Sane after April’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League.
      The 31-year-old was then temporarily suspended by the German champions for one game and was also fined.
      All that drama led to some negative headlines from the German media in the last few months and raised questions about the player’s long-term future.

      Georgia Stanway jokes about turning off phone if England set up World Cup quarters clash with Germany

      by

      GEORGIA STANWAY’S Bayern Munich switch has made her more of a leader on and off the pitch despite describing her German as “terrible”. The midfielder, 24,  joked she may have to give her Germany pals’ a swerve at the World Cup should England face them in the quarters this summer.

      The Lionesses are ramping up preparations for their Group D opener against Haiti after arriving in Australia last Friday for the tournament there and in New Zealand.
      The July 23 clash comes 15 months after Stanway’s three-year Bayern transfer which followed her becoming Man City Women’s all-time leading scorer last January. 
      The England star, who spent seven years at City, said: “I’ve developed so much on and off the pitch (going to Bayern).
      “I have a leadership role which I never expected to happen in such a short space of time

      “The biggest thing is I do a lot more with my team-mates.
      “I don’t know if this is something I’ve just grown into but I was never the most sociable outside of football. 
      “We do so much outside of the game as a team and that has made us stronger on the pitch which is really important.”
      Whilst loving life in Germany Stanway is currently getting to grips with the language.

      Attempts to buy a kitchen using German has proved to be both an amusing and mildly tricky experience.
      The Lioness, who signed for Bayern last May, added: “I moved to an apartment that didn’t have a kitchen so I waited another month for one. 
       “I had to ask people to come with me to buy it 
      “Because it was a little bit difficult and because of the language barrier and things being different – trying to find a shop that sold kitchens was a nightmare! 
      “But you have to ask for help.”
      When asked how her learning of German is going, Stanway joked: “Terrible!
      “I have two lessons a week and my teacher keeps saying ‘it’s going to click, it’s going to click’ but nearly 12 months in and there’s no click yet.”
      Stanway’s first Bayern term saw her help them lift their fifth Women’s Bundesliga title in May. 
      But the midfielder admits experiencing a dip away from the pitch following the highs of her transfer and winning the Euros with England. 
      Stanway, who received her 50th England cap in June, said: “Everything was new so it was all just exciting and the season’s busy enough. 
      “In Germany you have a winter break and that’s when I kind of had my dip.
      “I was supposed to meet Keira in Barcelona for New Year but I didn’t even make it because I was just that tired. 
      “There’s an expectation that you should be on top of your game all the time.
      “Allowing people to have days off and that little dip is so important.”

      Stanway’s club colleagues include Germany stars Klara Buhl, 22,  and Lina Magull, 28.
      The latter was part of the team beaten 2-1 by England with Stanway amongst the standout stars in last year’s Euros decider.
      Should the Lionesses top Group D and best Group B’s runners-up, a quarter-final clash with Germany awaits. 
      The beaten Euros finalists suffered a shock 3-2 warm-up loss to Zambia on Saturday before their opener against Morocco in 14 days.

      Former Man Utd star Daley Blind set for transfer to LaLiga after leaving Bayern Munich

      by

      The Dutchman is now set to play in La Liga for the first time in his career with a free transfer agreed, pending a medical.
      Blind, who has 101 international caps, would become the first Dutch star to play for the Catalan club.
      Since leaving Manchester United in 2018 it hasn’t been all plain sailing for Blind, including a scary injury in a Champions League match for Ajax when he complained about suffering from dizziness in 2019.
      A medical examination revealed he had a heart muscle inflammation, but Blind has continued to play after having an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fitted to regulate his heartbeat.

      He later collapsed in a friendly against Hertha Berlin with his team-mates quickly instantly racing over to him and medics arriving seconds later.
      Erik ten Hag, the Man Utd manager who was Blind’s Ajax boss at the time, revealed “his ICD went off and he was subbed off straight away”.
      Blind returned to football but later admitted pal Christian Eriksen’s collapse on the pitch at Euro 2020 , during which he died before being resuscitated, led to him “overcoming a mental hurdle” to keep playing.
      Despite this Blind recovered and starred for the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
