      The Dutch tactician is also likely to lose Tom Heaton, who will look for more regular minutes, and Dean Henderson with Nottingham Forest determined to turn his loan into a permanent deal.
      Petrovic has stood out in the US ever since his arrival last year and has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs as well.
      The Serb has a contract until 2025, with a one-year option to extend, and New England Revolution would seek a high fee.

      He went on to claim that Bayern have been speaking with Kane’s family around the logistics of relocating to Bavaria.
      Falk says that the feeling coming out of Kane’s camp is that the striker is “still thinking” about a move to the Bundesliga.
      Bayern have retained an interest in Kane since the end of the season but faced competition from Manchester United and Real Madrid.
      However Daniel Levy’s firm £100million price tag has seen both United and Madrid cool their interest in Kane.

      United have limited funds available until their takeover is cleared, much to the frustration of manager Erik Ten Hag.
      They are unwilling to spend £100m on a 29-year-old that has a year left on his contract.
      Madrid meanwhile would struggle to raise the necessary funds having signed Bellingham in a British record £115m deal.
      Whether Bayern could afford to stump-up the £100m asking price remains to be seen but Spurs would be tempted to sell to a team outside the Premier League.

      The temptation will be particularly strong given Kane will be able to decide his own club next summer when his contract expires.
      Bayern are in the market for a striker having failed to replace Robert Lewandoswki after he left for Barcelona last year.
      One way in which they could fund the costly deal would be through player sales.
      Thomas Tuchel is prepared to let a number of high-profile players go as he enters his first full season in charge.
      Benjamin Pavard, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane are all reportedly transfer listed. More
