A fee was agreed between the two clubs on Thursday

Harry Kane is reportedly unsure if he's left it too late to move to Bayern Munich this summer.

A fee between Tottenham and the Bundesliga giants was agreed late on Wednesday, with details then emerging on Thursday.


Bayern are confident of signing Kane and believe that, by agreeing a fee with Daniel Levy, they've done their part.

However, the Telegraph say the England international is unsure if he's left it too late to make the biggest move of his career.

Bayern have, all summer long, been confident that Kane wants to move to the Allianz Arena.

However, the protracted saga has plunged that into doubt and there's still no guarantee the striker will agree to a move.

It's previously been reported that Kane was leaning towards staying at Tottenham, having struck up a positive relationship with new manager Ange Postecoglu.

Kane has always wanted his future to be clarified before Tottenham's Premier League opener with Brentford on Sunday.

The report says Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel would be 'stunned' if a move for the 30-year-old failed to materialise.

Tuchel sees Kane as the ideal replacement for Sadio Mane, with the Senegal international moving to Al-Nassr earlier this summer.

Mane had been offered the chance to stay in Europe.

However, the former Liverpool star was persuaded to move to the Middle East due to his desire to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Personal terms aren't expected to be an issue between Kane and Bayern.

However, the saga still has legs to run.

Kane won't contemplate leaving Tottenham once the new season commences because he feels ' this would be unfair on the fans, the club, his team-mates and Postecoglu'.

Any refusal to move to Bayern now would also impact his chances of moving to the German giants further down the line.

Tottenham chief Daniel Levy has long made it clear he'd prefer to sell Kane to a foreign club.

Manchester United, who had previously shown an interest, opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta instead of moving for Kane this summer.

Manchester City were interested two years ago but, after landing Erling Haaland 12 months ago, aren't in the market for the Tottenham striker right now.

Kane is eager to break Alan Shearer's record of 260 Premier League goals.

He currently trails the Newcastle icon by 47.

But while he'd be practically guaranteed silverware at Bayern, it appears Kane is still weighing up his future at the 11th hour.

Former Tottenham star Gary Lineker, meanwhile, thinks Kane should make the move to Bayern and try a new challenge in Germany.

He recently told The Sun: “I think Harry will leave Tottenham - and he should do. I think he wants to go and that they will make it happen.

“The time is right for him, and the right club has come in for him. Munich is a lovely city and Bayern are one of the great clubs in world football.

“Alan Shearer is willing to drive Harry to the airport because he wants to keep his Premier League goalscoring record intact.

“But Harry is already the all-time record scorer for England and Tottenham.

“The game is about winning team honours rather than individual records and that is what Harry needs."
