Harry Kane is 'ready to buy himself out of his Tottenham contract' to secure his transfer to Bayern Munich, according to stunning reports.
Kane has been the subject of intense transfer speculation this summer, with his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2024.
Manchester United expressed an interest before opting to pursue Rasmus Hojlund while Bayern have kept tabs on the player's situation.

They've had a bid of £68.5 million rejected by the Premier League club, who are holding out for a whopping £100 million for their prized asset.
Spurs and Bayern remain locked in talks ahead of the transfer deadline, with Kane reportedly set to take matters into his own hands.
According to German outlet Bild, the 30-year-old may decide to 'buy himself free' from the final year of his Spurs contract by giving up a big portion of his salary, believed to be around £20.6 million per year.
That figure could be enough to close the gap and meet Spurs' valuation for Kane, with Bayern expected to lodge an £85 million bid for the striker.
Thomas Tuchel has prioritised a move for Kane, with the club selling Sadio Mane to Al Nassr not to mention offloading Robert Lewandowski last summer.
Kane, meanwhile, equalled his best-scoring return in the Premier League last season, bagging an impressive 30 goals in 38 games. Only Manchester City's Erling Haaland scored more league goals than him in England's top flight last season.
The England captain has been ultra-prolific during his spell at Spurs, having netted 280 goals - making him the club's record goal-scorer.
Will he leave Spurs for Bayern this summer? Watch this space.
