Sources have told ESPN that Tottenham have accepted an offer of more than 100 million euros ($110 million) from Bayern Munich for striker Harry Kane.
Kane, 30, will now decide whether to leave Tottenham or wait out the final year of his contract at north London.

Bayern had threatened to withdraw from the negotiations after setting a deadline, which is midnight last Friday, for Tottenham president Daniel Levy, to respond to their latest offers.
Levy waited until Monday to reject that proposal but Bayern returned with one final offer they believed had been restructured with revised add-ons and a higher fee percentage guaranteed up front.
Tottenham have now accepted that offer, not least because Kane has shown no willingness to sign an extension to his £200,000-a-week deal, which runs out in 2024.
The England captain has scored 213 Premier League goals on his way to overtaking Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals. Keane is also motivated by his desire to win trophies, having never lifted a trophy for club or country despite establishing himself as one of the best teams in the world. strikers.
Sources tell ESPN Kane has enjoyed the positive brand of football new coach Ange Postecoglou is trying to implement at Tottenham and has been fully involved in the pre-season, including scoring four goals in last weekend’s 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
However, the temptation to join Bayern to take his career up a notch is evident given that they have won the Bundesliga title in 11 consecutive seasons, the last of their six Champions League victories coming in 2020 – when they thrashed Tottenham 7-2 during the group stage.
Kane wanted his future to be decided with the start of the Premier League season – Tottenham take on Brentford in their opening game on Sunday – and he must now decide whether his future lies in England or Germany.
Reports in Germany indicated that Kane’s wife, Katie Goodland, was seen last month in Munich searching homes, fueling speculation of a possible move.
However, Tottenham’s reluctance to let the player leave put the possibility of a deal in doubt before a breakthrough came on Wednesday.
