Bayern Munich put SEVEN stars up for sale to raise funds for blockbuster Harry Kane move

Bayern Munich have put seven players up for sale as they race to raise funds for a third bid for top target Harry Kane.

Boss Thomas Tuchel is desperate to bring in the Tottenham star, who has entered the final year of his contract. But Spurs chief Daniel Levy is sticking to his £100million valuation of the England captain, rejecting two bids from Bayern that fell below that number.

Tuchel has identified Kane as the long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who left the Allianz Arena a year ago. Bayern brought in Sadio Mane last summer in place of the Pole, but he failed to impress in his debut campaign in the Bundesliga.

And Tuchel is now pushing to sign Kane, despite the rejections he has been dealt by Levy so far. That has led to Bayern looking to sell a large number of their own squad in order to finance another bid.

According to Sky Germany, with a move for Kane threatening to become increasingly expensive, they are ready to sell seven stars. They have added those seven to their transfer list, with rough valutions placed on them all.

Heading the list is Mane, who struggled badly under Tuchel and his predeccessor Julian Nagelsmann. Bayern are only looking for £17m in return for the former Liverpool star, a major reduction on what they paid the Reds for him.

Manchester United and Liverpool target Ryan Gravenberch is also free to leave, having also only spent a year in Munich. Bayern are looking for around £34m for the Dutchman, but are hoping to raise more than £40m from his sale.

Marcel Sabitzer, who spent the second half of last season on loan at United, is available for around £13m, with no place for him in Tuchel's plans. World Cup winner Benjamin Pavard has also struggled for opportunity, opening the door to a sale.

He has been added to the transfer list, with Bayern seeking a fee of between £29-£34m for the defender. With club captain Manuel Neuer set to return from a broken leg in time for the start of the season, Bayern are also ready to overhaul their options at goalkeeper.

Back-up Alexander Nubel will be sold, three years after arriving from Schalke. Nubel has spent the last two seasons on loan at Monaco, with Bayern only looking for a fee of between £4-£7m for him.

The changes at keeper also means an exit for Yann Sommer, who only signed in January to be Neuer's replacement. Bayern will accept £8m for the Swiss star, with the final player added to the list being Bouna Sarr, who has a price tag of only £2.5m.
