    And he fears Kane — on 213 — could beat him if he stays in England.
    Shearer, 52, has even joked he would drive Kane to Germany himself to protect his record.
    Reacting to the striker’s possible departure, his pal Gary Lineker wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “An emergency podcast is on the cards with an ecstatic Alan Shearer.”
    The social media platform was flooded with memes yesterday suggesting Shearer was wildly celebrating the England skipper’s possible departure.

    Meanwhile, other Premier League greats had their say on the will-he-stay, will-he-go saga.
    Ex-Liverpool and Man United star Michael Owen said Kane should stay at Spurs, adding: “Becoming all-time Premier League top goalscorer is a bigger achievement than winning the league in a country dominated by one team.”
    His former teammate Jamie Carragher agreed, saying breaking Shearer’s record would be “huge”.
    But Rio Ferdinand saw it differently, saying: “You don’t start ya career wanting to win the Golden Boot. You want to win things for ya team.”

    Spurs will receive an initial fee of £86m plus easily-attainable add-ons to round it up to £104m.
    It was then up to Kane to decide his future with only one year remaining on his contract – and up until Thursday afternoon, the forward was believed to be keen on staying in North London.
    But late on Thursday night, the England captain is reported to have opted to move to Germany and agreed personal terms, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
    Kane, 30, is understood to have penned a four-year deal worth £415,000 a week – more than double his Tottenham earnings.

    Ornstein states the striker is “now waiting for a green light from Tottenham to travel for a medical and to complete the transfer.”
    SunSport understand Bayern believe the transfer will be officially confirmed on Friday.
    Kane has just one year left on his current Spurs contract and had rejected a £400,000-a-week extension earlier this summer.
    Should he leave, Kane will do so as Spurs’ record goalscorer after 19 years at the club, joining aged 11.

    He scored 280 goals in 435 games for Spurs – 213 came in the Premier League.
    That means he leaves England 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s Premier League goalscoring record of 260.
    Bayern had multiple bids rejected by Tottenham before finally settling on a fee, but they were at risk of having their deal hijacked.
    Reports claimed Kane had been offered a “significantly better” contract to sign as a free agent next year by an unnamed club.
    It is expected Kane will be unveiled in a press conference at some point next week before Bayern’s opening Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen on Friday night.
    Spurs fans have gone into meltdown following the news of Kane’s departure, with many devastated the club legend has left. More

    Harry Kane ‘increasingly likely’ to stay at Spurs despite being given go-ahead for £104m move to Bayern Munich

    ENGLAND captain Harry Kane was yesterday given the go-ahead for a mega-money move from Spurs to German big-shots Bayern Munich.The Premier League side finally accepted an offer of £104million after rejecting three bids.

    Last night Harry, 30, was still yet to sign — despite vowing his future must be decided before Spurs start the new season on Sunday.
    But amid reports that he was ­having second thoughts and would stay, Bayern sources said the club were confident of landing Harry.
    The England striker has the choice between playing Champions League football and finally winning silverware or remaining in London and trying to break the Premier League goal record.
    Kane is understood to have settled personal terms which would see his wages double, and has taken his family to scout for a new home.

    But there is speculation that he has become worried about uprooting pregnant wife Katie, 29, and children Ivy, four, Vivienne Jane, two, and Louis, six months.
    Bayern, who have been European champions six times and won the German title 33 times, were sure they had their man.
    They have agreed a deal with Tottenham worth up to £104million after long weeks of negotiations.
    Spurs — who last won a major ­trophy when they lifted the League Cup in 2008 — had previously turned down three offers.
    Most read in Football
    Kane then set a deadline to bring the will-he-won’t-he saga to a head.
    He insisted it had to be sorted before new boss Ange Postecoglou’s men kick off the new campaign at Brentford on Sunday.
    Harry’s delay in signing the deal yesterday led to fears among some that he was turning his back on a £22million-a-year payday.
    Amid all the confusion late last night, it was reported that Kane has agreed to join Bayern on a proposed four-year contract.
    He was leaning towards staying at his boyhood club but opted to leave at the last minute, according to sports website The Athletic.
    He has been given permission by Spurs to travel for medical tests that will finalise the deal, it was said.
    But other sources said the complexity of the deal honed by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy meant it “might not be concluded quickly”.
    A breakthrough would end a ­stellar Spurs career spanning 20 years at the North London club.
    Kane netted 30 times last season despite playing in a lacklustre Spurs side which finished ia disappointing eighth.
    That left the North London club without European football.
    He was said to have been impressed by the siren call of Bayern’s former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and the hope of Champions League glory with the current Bundesliga champs.
    And though he might not be a drinker, his mates could have been looking forward to him living near the world-famous Oktoberfest and its beer halls.
    The average German spends about £3.50 for a pint — about 36 per cent less for a typical beer than in London.
    Even if he did not fancy a stein or two, he could chill out in the Bavarian city’s impressive main park.
    Called the Englischer Garten — English Garden — it is the size of 690 football pitches.
    Yet Kane — Tottenham’s all-time top goalscorer and winner of the 2018 World Cup golden boot for the Three Lions — is known to have been eyeing up Newcastle legend Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260 goals.
    He is currently 47 behind Shearer, but has already broken Wayne Rooney’s all-time England scoring record — getting his 56th goal in June.
    He has been Spurs’ undoubted star every year since 2014, but has just two League Cup runners-up medals to his name.
    He played a four-goal starring role in Sunday’s 5-1 friendly win over Shakhtar Donetsk which could be his last game for Spurs.
    The club valued him at £200million at one point and there were claims Levy would have accepted £150million in talks with Manchester City in 2021.
    But the continuing wrangle over his future is piling more pressure on the Spurs hierarchy — as they will not make a penny if he leaves on a free transfer after his contract expires next year.
    Bayern boss Tuchel has been confident of getting his man, and fans hoped their city would provide a further lure.
    It is also home to the spectacular Olympic Park. Built for the 1972 Olympics, it hosts a variety of major concerts.
    Kane could also find inspiration for expanding his luxury car collection by visiting the BMW museum.
    The city has plenty for his family too — including Hellabrunn Zoo, ranked among the best safari parks in Europe.
    Spurred to train
    ANY uncertainty in Harry Kane’s mind over where he will be playing this season didn’t show in his training session with Spurs on Wednesday.

    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.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    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.”

    Harry Kane could sensationally SNUB Bayern Munich transfer despite Tottenham finally accepting bid

    HARRY KANE could REJECT Bayern Munich and decide to stay at Tottenham despite Spurs finally accepting the Germans’ latest bid, according to reports.The Lilywhites had turned down THREE offers from the Bundesliga champions as Kane set a deadline of Sunday for his future to be resolved – when Ange Postecoglou’s men kick off their Premier League campaign away at Brentford.

    But today it was reported Tottenham had agreed a fee from Bayern consisting of around £94.5million.
    Personal terms are already said to have been settled with the England captain, 30.
    Now Kane has to decide whether he stays at Spurs and sees out the remainder of his contract – which expires next summer – or if he leaves for Germany.
    The Telegraph understands that Bayern and manager Thomas Tuchel remain confident the striker wants to join the six-time European champions.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    However, the same report states there is “doubt” about him approving the transfer given the saga has rumbled on until the eve of the new season.
    And, according to Sky Sports, he is “increasingly likely” to stay at Tottenham despite the accepted bid.
    Earlier this week, it was claimed the Three Lions skipper was “leaning towards staying” in North London.
    And Kane will not consider leaving Tottenham once their Premier League campaign is underway.

    It is also claimed the situation is a “complex deal and might not be concluded quickly”.

    Bayern are set to argue that the hold up in negotiations was not their fault as they gave Spurs a deadline of last Friday to respond to their third bid.
    This was ignored by Tottenham chief Daniel Levy, before Bayern made yet another offer which was accepted.
    Meanwhile, Kane has already built up a strong relationship with new boss Postecoglou and is believed to be enjoying working under the Australian, 57.
    The Bayern deal would see him earn £21.6m per year – which works out as £415,000 per week.
    That’s nearly double the £200,000-a-week he’s on at Spurs.
    Kane is the Lilywhites’ all-time top scorer with 280 goals in 435 appearances.
    He is also just 47 goals short of Alan Shearer’s record Premier League tally of 260. More

    Huge blow for Dream Team gaffers with Harry Kane set for Bayern Munich switch – make a transfer now!

    DREAM TEAM gaffers have suffered a brutal blow on the eve of the new season with Harry Kane (£7m) likely to join Bayern Munich in the coming days.Tottenham have reportedly accepted an offer in excess of £94.5million for their all-time top scorer from the German giants in what seems to be final decisive act of the long-running transfer saga.

    Kane seems destined for MunichCredit: DREAM TEAM
    The decision now rests with the England captain, who has been undecided about his future for a couple for years now.
    Kane may yet choose to stay in north London but with his current contract due to expire next summer, a switch to the Bundesliga champions seems most likely.
    The 30-year-old’s exit would mean the departure of a modern Dream Team legend, not to mention the fourth-most popular striker in the game ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
    Only Alan Shearer has scored more Premier League goals than Kane and only Thierry Henry has won more Golden Boots.
    And last season was one of his most impressive campaigns as he defied Spurs’ general malaise to bag 30 league goals for the second time in his career.
    Coming soon…Credit: THE SUN
    Kane would have amassed 367 points last season had Dream Team’s improved scoring system been implemented, a tally only bettered by four other players.
    13.9% of gaffers will have to find a replacement ahead of Gameweek 1 with Mohamed Salah (£7m) the obvious candidate as the only other forward of equivalent price.

    But even those who have not selected Kane at this stage will be losing a premium option – most gaffers back him at some point throughout the season.
    Son Heung-min’s ownership (4.3%) may increase if fans expect the South Korean superstar to step up in the absence of his main collaborator, especially if he starts taking penalties.
    Kane is one of a select few players to have provided over 1,000 Dream Team points down the years – he will be greatly missed.

    Their last was for £73 million rising to £86 million, but Spurs are holding out for £100m.
    Now according to The Times, the North London club could be ready to sell after Bayern indicated they would increase their offer to £94.5m.

    It is claimed Spurs will look to leave Richarlison, 26, with the responsibility of leading the line in Kane’s absence.

    But they plan to step up interest in Gift Orban, the 21-year-old Gent striker who scored 20 times in 22 games last season.
    The Nigeria forward would provide competition for Brazilian Richarlison, who managed just three goals in his debut Spurs year.
    Kane, 30, wants his future decided before Spurs’ Premier League opener against Brentford on Sunday.
