Bayern Munich are prepared to sell seven players in order to fund a move for Tottenham superstar Harry Kane this summer, according to reports.
The German giants are hoping to lure Kane to the Allianz Arena for a fee worth around £70 million, knowing that Spurs run the risk of losing him for free next summer when his contract expires.
However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is expected to reject Bayern's offer after placing an eye-watering £120 million price tag on the 29-year-old.

The extortionate transfer fees involved were enough to put Manchester United off, who have re-adjusted their search towards Atalanta striker Ramsus Hojlund.
But Bayern Munich are refusing to give in and are reportedly set for a seven-man clear out in an effort to boost their summer transfer budget.
Among those expected to be sold is Sadio Mane, less than a year after he joined the Bundesliga side from Liverpool for £35 million.

Although Bayern are willing to part ways with the Senegal international for as little as £17 million, according to Sky Sports Germany.
The 31-year-old endured a turbulent campaign with Bayern after failing to reach the heights expected of him, managing just seven goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances.
And matters were made even worse after punching team-mate Leroy Sane after Bayern's Champions League defeat against Manchester City in April.
Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has also been tipped to leave the Bavarian club, with Thomas Tuchel keen to recoup £12 million for the player.

Barcelona target Benjamin Pavard is next on the chopping block, with Bayern after £34 million for the French defender.
The most expensive player on Tuchel's transfer list is 21-year-old Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who is expected to make the club up to £42m.
Meanwhile, Bouna Sarr, Alexander Nubel and Yann Sommer are all expected to depart for fees worth less than £8.5m.
Were Bayern to manage to sell each player for their respective price tags, the German champions would raise approximately £113m - which would almost certainly land Kane, should he choose to leave north London this summer.

In the meantime, Tottenham are hoping to convince the England skipper to commit his long-term future to the club, and are set to offer him a lucrative £400,000 per-week deal, claim The Telegraph.
