Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham have told German giants Bayern Munich that they will need to up their offer if they want to land Harry Kane this summer.
The England captain has been the subject of two failed bids from Bayern this window, reportedly £60million and £70million.
Spurs still remain in talks with the German side over a potential transfer but The Athletic now report that two clubs are still "£25m apart in their valuation".
That would mean Bayern would need to spend in excess of £100million to land their man.
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou admits he is “not relaxed” by the uncertainty over the future of Harry Kane and wants the issue sorted as soon as possible.
The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season but, while Bayern continue to push to secure his services and have reportedly lodged two bids for the forward, Spurs’ stance remains the same, they have no intention of selling Kane.
Tottenham’s record goalscorer has also been offered a new contract that is a significant increase on his current £200,000-a-week terms, it is understood, although reports claim Kane will not sign a fresh deal this summer.
Postecoglou, who was appointed as new Spurs boss ahead of the new campaign, conceded the situation is not a welcome one. He told reporters, via football.london: “Fair to say I am not relaxed about it!
“It’s not something you go: ‘Ah, well, you know if it does or doesn’t happen!’ I mean it’s a very important part of this football club, not just the team, but the football club.
“So, you’ve got to deal with it, and I think, for everyone concerned, we don’t want to be doing it for too long. I don’t think that is good for anyone. I don’t think it is good for Harry, I don’t think it is good for the club, because as laser focused as we want to be, you end up sort of repeating yourself along the way.
“But the flip side of that is I don’t want to put a deadline on it, because that adds even more pressure. You want these things to happen for the right reasons. The reality of it is he’s still a contracted player at our football club, so that’s the way I see him.
“It’s not like his contract is ending on the 12th [of August] and he’s got to make a decision, he’s got another year.”
