A major update has emerged on Harry Kane's Bayern Munich future as the club are 'braced' for a huge transfer decision.
Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham in the summer of 2023 in a deal worth a whopping £86 million.
He has enjoyed a prolific spell in Germany, scoring an impressive 65 league goals in as many games.
The England captain inspired his side to Bundesliga glory last season and has already bagged three goals in two goals in their championship defence.

He has two years remaining on his existing deal, which runs until 2027.
But Kane could leave Bayern before his contract expires and pursue a 'dream' move.
That's according to German football expert Raphael Honigstein, who has claimed that Bayern are 'braced' for the possibility that Kane will leave before the end of his contract.
Honigstein states that figures in Germany don't expect Kane to see out his Bayern contract and believes showdown talks over his future could take place soon to avoid the risk of losing him on a free.
"It's no big secret that people in Germany don't expect Harry Kane to see out his career at Bayern," he told talkSPORT.
"I think Bayern are braced for the possibility that he will leave slightly earlier than his contract, which runs until 2027.
"One way or the other, he and the club need to take a view on this fairly soon."

Honigstein reckons Bayern have dropped a clue over the 32-year-old's future, having targeted Benjamin Sesko and Nick Woltemade before their respective moves to Manchester United and Newcastle United.
The German giants ended up with Nicolas Jackson, who joined on a season-long loan - with Uli Hoeness not convinced they will sign him on a permanent basis despite the obligation they struck with Chelsea.
"They were pushing for somebody who can both be a backup and an understudy for Kane. They looked at [Benjamin] Sesko. They looked at [Nick] Woltemade - they ended up with Jackson, with an obligation to buy," he added.
"This suggests Bayern are aware of the possibility that Kane might go in a year or two.
"But at the same time, he's so good that anyone who comes in has to play around him.
"There is absolutely no chance that Jackson will displace Kane. He will have to play alongside him, ahead of him or give Kane a rest in a game or two.
"But he is very much there to be his eventual successor, but we are still quite far off that."
