Thomas Tuchel has met Harry Kane at his home in London to discuss a move to Bayern Munich, according to reports in Germany – and details of the chat have emerged.
Towards the end of last month, Spurs moved quickly to turn down an offer worth £60million plus add-ons from Bayern for Kane, who has 12 months left on his current deal.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, meanwhile, is in no mood to sell the 29-year-old and will not consider a bid of less than £100million, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs.
Soon though, BILD journalist Christian Falk suggested the family of Kane have already conducted negotiations with Bayern and personal terms were 'agreed in principle' ahead of the new campaign.

"The prerequisite for the transfer is now: an agreement with Tottenham," he added.
Over a week later and more details around Bayern's chase to sign Kane have come to the surface.
German publication SPORTBILD suggest manager Thomas Tuchel has personally met the England international at his home in London to discuss details around a transfer.
In fact, during those conversations in mid-May, Kane told Tuchel it would appeal to him to win the Champions League with Bayern in the coming years. The striker, meanwhile, was 'very impressed' and signaled his willingness to move to Munich.
Tuchel and Kane are also believed to be in constant contact, exchanging text messages on a regular basis.

In addition to the above, Kane's 'biggest dream' is to lift the European Cup, according to the report, after a trophyless career with Spurs.
One thing is for sure; Thomas Tuchel is clearly a huge fan of England's all-time top goalscorer. Back in 2021, during his spell at Chelsea, the German coach heaped praise on the forward.
“If you find any coach around the world who would not like to have Harry Kane in his team, call me," Tuchel said. “I would like to speak with the guy and hear about his ideas of scoring and attacking.
“Everybody loves Harry Kane but let’s be very, very clear. He is a player for Tottenham. He has a long term contract and we will not get involved in any press conference with any disrespectful comments about that.”
