Tottenham have reportedly rejected Bayern Munich's latest offer for Harry Kane.
The Bundesliga champions met with the north London club last week but were left disappointed as they remained £25million apart in their valuation of the striker.
Bayern have prioritised signing the England captain this summer, though they had twice already been rejected before the latest round of talks. The German giants' first bid, believed to be around £60m, was initially rejected in June, before once again having an offer knocked back in July.
And Spurs have now refused to accept Bayern's latest bid for the 30-year-old, according to The Athletic.

Bayern officials are expected to hold a "pre-scheduled" meeting on Monday, with transfer updates on the agenda.
The ongoing saga comes despite new Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou calling for a swift resolution to Kane's future, with the talisman's contract up next summer. The Australian admitted both he and the club were in "open dialogue" with the club's all-time top goal-scorer regarding the situation.
Postecoglou said last month: “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.”
He added: “We can’t wait (around) for a decision either way to get going. We don’t have the time or the luxury to do that. I’m working with what’s in front of me. You saw today that Harry certainly is invested in what we’re doing and we’ll keep on doing that unless something changes.”
Bayern struggled immensely last year without a true striker in the absence of Robert Lewandowski, thereby making Kane a priority. They appeared to make a major breakthrough in June when German outlet BILD claimed Kane, who has repeatedly made it clear that he wants to win trophies, had agreed personal terms with the side.
Even still, the complete forward was involved in Tottenham’s summer tour to Australia and Singapore. He netted four in the 5-1 friendly win over Shakhtar Donestsk on Sunday.
