BAYERN MUNICH have made a major call in the Harry Kane transfer race, reports suggest.
And it means the German outfit will move ahead of Manchester United and Real Madrid in the race to land the Tottenham talisman.

Kane performed admirably despite Tottenham’s struggles last season
According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, Bayern have informed Napoli ace Victor Osimhen they are focusing on a transfer for Kane.
The report adds the club are prepared to pay Tottenham’s asking price.
Bayern are said to believe they can get a deal done for £85million including add-ons.
This is a significantly smaller fee than the £100m demanded from Man Utd.
It comes after Kane, 29, earmarked Bayern as his preferred destination following positive talks between the two parties.
Reports last week claimed Bayern have been speaking to Kane about the logistics of moving his family to Bavaria.
Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is also said to have given the green light for the move.
Now it is up to Kane to inform Tottenham of his wish to leave.
