The Bundesliga club have had a £104m bid accepted by TottenhamGetty
Spurs will receive an initial fee of £86m plus easily-attainable add-ons to round it up to £104m.
It was then up to Kane to decide his future with only one year remaining on his contract – and up until Thursday afternoon, the forward was believed to be keen on staying in North London.
But late on Thursday night, the England captain is reported to have opted to move to Germany and agreed personal terms, according to The Athletic‘s David Ornstein.
Kane, 30, is understood to have penned a four-year deal worth £415,000 a week – more than double his Tottenham earnings.
Ornstein now states that the striker has been given the green light to fly to Germany tfor his medical ahead of completing the deal.
SunSport understand Bayern believe the transfer will be officially confirmed within 24 hours.
Kane has just one year left on his current Spurs contract and had rejected a £400,000-a-week extension earlier this summer.
Should he leave, Kane will do so as Spurs’ record goalscorer after 19 years at the club, joining aged 11.

He scored 280 goals in 435 games for Spurs – 213 came in the Premier League.
That means he leaves England 47 goals shy of Alan Shearer’s Premier League goalscoring record of 260.
Bayern had multiple bids rejected by Tottenham before finally settling on a fee, but they were at risk of having their deal hijacked.
Reports claimed Kane had been offered a “significantly better” contract to sign as a free agent next year by an unnamed club.
It is expected Kane will be unveiled in a press conference at some point next week before Bayern‘s opening Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen on Friday night.
Spurs fans have gone into meltdown following the news of Kane’s departure, with many devastated the club legend has left.
