      Bayern Munich ‘working on stunning £90million Harry Kane transfer’ after Oliver Kahn admitted interest in Tottenham star

      However, rumours of a potential departure to the Bundesliga champions have been circulating for some time.
      And Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn fuelled that speculation earlier this week when he praised the England captain.
      He told Sky Sports Germany: “Kane is very good player, but there are also many other very good players. I’ve read that [gossip] everywhere.”
      According to Sky Sports, Bayern are exploring the possibility of a move for Kane.

      And a transfer for Spurs’ talisman would reportedly set them back in the region of £70-90m.
      But the German giants remain unconvinced a deal could be completed.
      Spurs chief Daniel Levy fended off strong interest from Manchester City last year as he kept hold of Kane after a lengthy transfer saga.
      Since then, talk of a departure has gone away – particularly following the appointment of manager Antonio Conte 12 months ago.

      But now interest from Bayern has led to speculation once more, with Kane expected to make a decision on his future after the World Cup.
      And with the forward set to enter the final 12 months of his current deal in the summer, Tottenham may feel now is the time to cash in on their legendary striker.
      Kane has netted a breathtaking 261 goals in 408 appearances for the Lilywhites and is just five short of the club record set by Jimmy Greaves.
      He also has 51 goals for his country and is only two shy of Wayne Rooney’s record.
      Kane has made a superb start to the season for Spurs, registering 13 goals in 22 matches.
      But they are already in danger of another trophyless season after falling behind Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race and exiting the Carabao Cup to Nottingham Forest.
      Kane is yet to win a major trophy in his career and could leave Spurs in search of silverware. More

      But Marca believe the Red Devils now have to fight off competition from Real Madrid.
      That’s because the La Liga champions see Fernandez as an alternative to Jude Bellingham.
      The Borussia Dortmund star is Madrid’s top target, but the amount of names in the running, including Liverpool, is leading to them shopping elsewhere.
      And the next name on their list is Fernandez.

      United’s win over Fulham before the break saw them climb to fifth and move three points behind fourth place Tottenham with a game in hand.
      But while the Red Devils are improving at the top end of the pitch, their defensive frailties are clear to see.
      Only Spurs (21) have conceded more Prem goals than them (20) in the top eight this season.
      Therefore, Ten Hag is hoping to bolster his numbers at the back, with Min-jae being targeted.

      The 26-year-old only arrived at Napoli in the summer, but his outstanding form for the Serie A leaders has caught United’s eye.
      The South Korea international penned a three-year contract in Naples but could make a swift exit.
      That’s because Fabrizio Romano claims that he has a release clause of £40m.
      However, that clause will only be active for just a fortnight, which means United will have to act quickly.

      He played for their U17s last week in the 2-1 Premier Cup win over Blackburn Rovers, but was unable to grab a goal.
      Ehibhatiomhan already has a strike for England’s U17s though, scoring in last year’s 2-0 win over Romania.
      And it now remains to be seen if United offer him a long-term deal before the January transfer market opens. More

      Reports claim David Beckham’s MLS franchise are “on the brink” of an incredible transfer for Argentina star Messi.
      The legendary playmaker is out of contract at Paris Saint-Germain next summer.
      But he could end up making a move to America sooner rather than later.
      It’s reckoned former Barcelona pals Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas are also wanted by Miami.

      And that would see the MLS side hit their quota of three “designated” players, with current big names Gonzalo Higuain, Blaise Matuidi and Alejandro Pozuelo leaving next month.
      Boss Phil Neville would likely thrust his new trio straight into the starting XI, with Messi playing off Suarez as a No10 and Fabregas pulling the strings in midfield.
      But Inter Miami could yet end up with an even more exciting new team.
      That’s if they also pull off a transfer for Messi’s rivals Ronaldo, who is a free agent after leaving Manchester United.

      How Inter Miami could line up with Messi AND Ronaldo in the starting XI
      SunSport exclusively revealed Beckham’s interest in securing a deal for the Portuguese icon.
      And should he join Miami, Ronaldo would likely arrive in place of fellow striker Suarez, putting him in the side’s main attacking role.
      Meanwhile, current Barca star Sergio Busquets is also being tipped to join Miami.
      He would therefore take the place of Fabregas, both in the side and as one of the three “designated” players.
      And should Messi end up moving to the MLS franchise, he will still find himself surrounded by quality players regardless of which others Becks decides to move for. More
