Sources report that Tottenham has accepted a bid in excess of €100 million ($110 million) from Bayern Munich for striker Harry Kane.
Kane, 30 years old, must now determine whether to leave Spurs or remain in north London for the final year of his contract.
Bayern had threatened to abandon negotiations after giving Spurs chairman Daniel Levy until Friday at midnight to respond to their latest offer.
Levy waited until Monday to deny that proposal, but Bayern resubmitted a final offer that was reportedly restructured with modified add-ons and a more significant proportion of the transfer fee guaranteed upfront.

Spurs have now accepted this offer because Kane has shown no inclination to sign a contract extension for his £200,000 per week, 2024-expiring contract.
The England captain has scored 213 goals in the Premier League and is on pace to surpass Alan Shearer’s record of 260. Kane is also driven by a desire to win trophies, having never won a trophy for a club or country despite being one of the world’s best forwards.
Kane has reportedly relished the positive brand of football that new Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou is attempting to implement and has participated fully in the preseason, scoring four goals in last weekend’s 5-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk.
The allure of joining Bayern to advance his career is evident, given that they have won the Bundesliga title for 11 consecutive seasons. Their most recent of six Champions League titles was in 2020, when they defeated Spurs 7-2 in the group stage.
Kane desired to have his future resolved by the time Spurs faced Brentford in the Premier League season-opening match on Sunday. He must now decide whether his future lies in England or Germany.
Katie Goodland, Kane’s wife, was reportedly observed house-hunting in Munich, Germany, last month, fueling rumors of a potential relocation.
However, Spurs’ reluctance to let the player depart cast doubts about a deal before Wednesday’s breakthrough.
