BAYERN MUNICH are “poised to make another bid for Harry Kane this week”, according to a fresh report.
The striker overtook Wayne Rooney to become the second-highest Premier League goalscorer last season.

The England captain, who is also our country’s all-time top marksman, has also secured his place as Spurs’ record scorer.
But it has been another year of disappointment for Kane at club level and he is still yet to win a trophy during his incredible career.
He only has a year left on his contract with Manchester United making him one of their top summer transfer targets.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are convinced they will sign Kane.
Reports emerged last week that he had agreed personal terms with the German giants ahead of a potential blockbuster move.
It was then claimed that Bayern had offered £60m for the forward plus add-ons – a total deal worth just short of £70m.
Now the Daily Mail states that Spurs are insisting their star is “not for sale” but that is not deterring Bayern, who plan to make a second bid over the coming days.
The Bundesliga champions allegedly “believe an offer around £80m plus add-ons could get Daniel Levy talking” and that Kane has “indicated” he is interested in a move.

Levy is currently demanding at least £100m for the hotshot – a price neither United nor Bayern are currently willing to meet.
Former Bayern technical director Michael Reschke recently told Confidential that Kane should be the club’s priority signing this summer: “Kane is one of the top three number nines in the world with Haaland and Mbappe.
“If he joins Bayern he gives them a much greater chance of winning the Champions League.
“That is the reason Bayern are fighting for him. Bayern can’t compete in bidding wars for the top players but they are still alluring to some if they show conviction.”
However, despite the prospect of him being able to leave for nothing next summer, Tottenham have now been tipped to hang on to their talisman at least until January.
Former West Ham Hammers ace Frank McAvennie has made a wild claim they will look to flog him for a bargain price.
He said: “If he stays they will probably want to sell him for £10m in January or something just to get something back for him.
“If somebody is willing to pay £80m or £90m [this summer] for a nearly 30-year-old striker, I would bite the hand off them.”
And Tottenham and United legend Teddy Sheringham believes Kane would turn the Red Devils into a different animal if he signed.
He said: “If Harry Kane were to join United, then of course it would make them a better team and would bridge that gap between where they are at the moment and competing for the Premier League title next season.
“United are close – they’ve already won the League Cup. If you add Harry Kane to that team, suddenly it starts to look like a different animal.”
