Tottenham: Postecoglou plans could get 'shattered' in 'next days' at Hotspur Way
Tottenham transfer news - Harry Kane
According to The Mail on Sunday, Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe are set to hold discussions with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy on Monday as they look to get a deal for Kane over the line.
The report suggests the reigning Bundesliga champions are confident of reaching an agreement for the England captain, who has scored 280 goals for his boyhood club, and are likely to bid around £75million.
It is understood that the coming hours are crucial as Bayern aim to persuade Tottenham into parting with their all-time leading marksman.
The German giants' hopes of acquiring Kane have been bolstered after Spurs owner Joe Lewis has told Levy he must sanction a move if the 30-year-old is unwilling to agree fresh terms as they are not prepared to see him walk away as a free agent.
Kane's contract, which allows him to pocket £200,000-per-week, has less than 12 months to run and he has not put pen-to-paper at this stage.
Italian reporter Rudy Galetti recently told GIVEMESPORT that Tottenham's academy graduate has confirmed Bayern is the only club he wants to join after holding conversations with Thomas Tuchel, the Bavarian side's head coach.
What has Dean Jones said about Kane?
Although he has doubts over whether Bayern are willing to pay upwards of £100million for Kane, Jones has revealed that sources are confident a compromise could be reached with Tottenham in the coming days.
The respected journalist believes the frontman's decision not to sign a contract extension has given his suitors renewed optimism ahead of holding crunch talks with Levy.
Jones told GIVEMESPORT: "This is a very fragile period of the transfer window because if you lose a star player now, it absolutely shatters your plans for the new season.
Bayern are poised to do exactly that to Spurs because they want to get a deal done this week. It won’t be easy, far from it, but we have reached the stage where they are going to put everything on the table and hope that Daniel Levy and Co. can see the upside to selling him at the price they propose.
"I have serious doubts about Bayern spending over £100million, so the chances of this deal actually going through have to be measured carefully, especially as Bayern have never gone near this level of spending on one player before.
What's next for Tottenham?
Kane is not the only Tottenham man being linked with an exit as, according to MailOnline, Sergio Reguilon has emerged as a target for Real Sociedad.
The report suggests the left-back, who was limited to 12 appearances when he spent last season on loan with Atletico Madrid, could be offloaded as Postecoglou looks to oversee a clear-out in north London.
But Tottenham do not need to sell Reguilon on the cheap as he still has two years remaining on his £48,000-per-week contract.
The Spaniard has been on Spurs' books since sealing a £32million switch from La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid in September 2020.
Reguilon has gone on to rack up 11 goal contributions in 67 outings for Tottenham, but he has fallen out of favour.
Nottingham Forest now have 'big reason' for not selling £50m star at City Ground
Nottingham Forest are holding out “as strongly as possible” to keep hold of one of their top attacking talents at The City Ground this summer, transfer insider Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT.
Steve Cooper hopes to retain best players in his squad as the Tricky Trees look to improve on last season’s near-brush with relegation.
Nottingham Forest transfer news – Latest
It’s been a quiet summer compared to Forest’s spending spree on their return to the Premier League last year.
Cooper’s side have made just three acquisitions with just over a month of the window remaining, as they aim to build a settled squad at The City Ground.
Newcastle United and New Zealand striker Chris Wood’s loan move has turned into a permanent deal, worth in the region of £15m.
The 31-year-old offers a focal point in Cooper’s attack and has been a Premier League regular for several years across spells with the Magpies and Burnley.
It’s the second bid Forest have turned down from the Bees this summer, with the two-time European Cup winners valuing the attacker at more than £50m.
And Jones says it’s a waiting game to see whether Brentford will match Forest’s valuation, hinting that there is a price at which Cooper’s side would be forced to sell.
What has Jones said about Nottingham Forest and Johnson?
Reacting to Brentford’s second bid for Johnson, Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “
They are holding out as strongly as possible, but a big part of this beyond the financial aspect is that they do not want to sell to Brentford because it would feel like strengthening a rival.
“When you consider the size of these two clubs and how Brentford suddenly rocketed to the Premier League and stayed there a couple of years, you can understand why Forest feel they have just as much pulling power to keep a player like this.
“They feel that they could stay in the Premier League another year, and there is a feeling that Brentford might drop off a level, meaning these two become closer in the table.
“If Forest let one of their best players make a switch like this, it would feel a bit defeatist. It will be harder to get to where they want to be. But now it’s a waiting game to see if Brentford bid again.
