Bayern Munich are weighing up a bid for Manchester United target Harry Kane.

A report in Todofichajes claims that the German giants’ priority for the summer is the Tottenham striker and that they are willing to depart with €110 million in order to land him.

If such a bid is accepted, it would make the Englishman the most expensive signing in the club's history.

Kane, whose contract is up with Spurs in 2024, has been linked with Bayern over the past year and his current club will have to either tie him down on fresh terms in the summer or run the risk of losing him on a free transfer the subsequent year.

The Bavarian club recently got Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to agree on a one-year contract extension following his brilliant spell.

The Cameroon international forward has netted nine goals in 16 Bundesliga games and was rewarded with a new contract.

Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic was recently asked about the club’s purported interest in Kane and whether Choupo-Moting's renewal would influence a deal.

"We're glad we have Choupo. I can't say what will happen in the summer yet," he told Sky Sports Germany. "Nothing, that's nonsense. That's not our consideration at all.

"First of all, we extended Choupo. I hope he's the same, keep going, keep scoring and then we'll see."

Bayern after number nine

Bayern are indeed remaining coy - but they are still looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski who left over the summer for Barcelona.

It comes after January’s report via Sky in Italy that Kane is open to signing a new contract with Spurs and that two meetings between Tottenham and the player's agent have taken place over his long-term future.

Manchester United have also been linked to the Premier League attacker, who became Spurs’ all-time goal-scorer last year.
