Bayern Munich have drifted in the race to sign Harry Kane, but remain his most likely destination if he is to leave Tottenham.
Kane's future remains one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer and reports in Germany surfaced earlier this week suggesting the Bundesliga giants are the 29-year-old's 'preferred destination'.
Further to that, BILD ran that Kane had agreed personal terms with Bayern and it was now between the two clubs to arrange the deal.
That has been reflected in the markets where Bayern, 25/1 outsiders to sign Kane last week, were backed in to as short as 11/10 favourites with some firms, though that price has eased out to 9/4 after a quiet spell.

The reports in Germany claim Bayern are willing to part with £86m for their 'top target' - a sum that could well interest Spurs given their talisman is entering the final year of his deal and seemingly has no inclination to pen fresh terms in north London.
Unlike two summers ago, when Kane made public his hope for a move away from Spurs only to eventually stay put, the forward has remained tight-lipped amid transfer speculation.
But, with Spurs unlikely to sanction a switch to a Premier League rival - much to the frustration of Manchester United, who are now at 9/1 to sign Kane, having been even-money favourites at one point - a move abroad looks likeliest, if any.
Kane scored 32 goals in another prolific season but once again ended up without a trophy, a barren streak that would surely end if he joined a Bayern side that hoover up honours in Germany.
However, last season they only pipped Borussia Dortmund to the league title on the very final day and Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel, embarking on his first full season as head coach at the Allianz Arena, wants Kane to replace flop Sadio Mane.
Real Madrid remain second favourites in the market but it seems Kane remains a secondary target for the La Liga giants, who are hoping to persuade Kylian Mbappe to move to the Bernabeu from PSG - who are themselves 40/1 to sign Kane.
