Harry Kane is reportedly ready to buy himself out of the final year of his Tottenham contract to force through a move to Bayern Munich this summer, according to reports in Germany.
The England skipper's future has become the most fraught transfer saga of the summer with Spurs adamant it will take a £100m fee to let the striker leave.
Bayern, who have now reportedly seen three bids rejected for the 30-year-old, have emerged as Kane's most likely destination with club executives Jan-Christian Dreesen and Marco Neppe flying into London for talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy on Monday.
Ahead of a third approach believed to be in the region of £85m, which was swiftly turned down by the Premier League outfit.
Still, despite the fee eclipsing the German's record purchase, it is still some way short of Spurs' evaluation which has alerted Bild to the possibility of the forward taking matters into his own hands.
The German outlet report that Kane may decide to 'buy himself free' from the final year of his Spurs contract by giving up a sizeable portion of his salary, which is believed to be around £20.6m per year.
That sum could be enough to close the gap between the respective clubs' position and would be an extraordinary step from Tottenham's all-time leading scorer to depart north London.
Bild go on to list the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Julian Nagelsmann who have made similar moves in the past and even suggest that Thomas Tuchel side may be in a position to compensate Kane down the line should such an agreement be reached.
Meanwhile, Mail Sport reported on Monday how Spurs will also consider a deal for Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson if they do sell the England captain.
Forest boss Steve Cooper doesn't want to sell Johnson, who also has admirers at Aston Villa, but with FFP on their shoulders they have to be realistic.

That's a blatant lie it seems as you don't have anything else to share with your readers now you resort to misleading information really how low can you go.
German media has playing this bs for almost a month now. He literally said I'll stay here if that what Tottenham wants from me and leave next year. Just another manipulative move from the bayern journalist

Bayern should just give up , go for someone younger and cheaper and wait for Harry’s contract to run down and get him for free
He ain't coming to bayern if he goes for free. PL teams would give their all to get him in their team and if I am being honest he will go for breaking highest goal scorer in the Premier league
