Record-breaking striker eyes future at German champions but Spurs must act fast or risk losing their talismanic star.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have presented their last and most tempting offer for star striker Harry Kane, putting the pressure on Tottenham to make a swift decision.

The German champions have reportedly submitted an offer worth over €100 million euros (£86.24 million) with add-ons included, and they are eager to secure Kane's services ahead of their upcoming season.

According to SkySports, Kane, whose contract is set to expire next summer, is determined to resolve his future before Tottenham's opening Premier League clash against Brentford on August 13. 

Aware of the risks involved in keeping the elite goalscorer beyond this transfer window, Spurs face the prospect of losing him on a free transfer next year, potentially to a rival club in the Premier League.

The 30-year-old striker has made it clear that he is not willing to sign a new contract with Tottenham this summer.

 His preference lies with joining Bayern Munich over other interested parties, including French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

 With Bayern's offer on the table, Kane's potential earnings on a five-year contract could be in the region of £11 million net annually, contingent on his basic salary, games played, and bonuses.

Tottenham's predicament is compounded by their recent disappointing campaign, where they finished eighth in the Premier League and missed out on European football. 

Their trophy drought since 2008 adds further weight to the decision they must make regarding Kane's future.

Throughout his illustrious career, Kane has etched his name in Tottenham's history books as the all-time leading goalscorer, boasting an impressive record of 280 goals in 435 appearances for the club. 

In the Premier League alone, he has found the net 213 times in 320 games, placing him within striking distance of Alan Shearer's record as the highest scorer in the league's history, with just 48 goals to go.
