    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.

    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

    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
