Kane has been linked with a move away with his Tottenham contract to expire in the summer of 2024.

The 29-year-old has previously been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.

It's reported it would cost in the region of £100million to prise England's all-time record goalscorer away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Matthaus says such a price tag and age are two factors as to why he is not suited to his former employers.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Werder Bremen's Niclas Fullkrug and Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt have also been linked with a move to Bayern.

"I'm excited to see if a new striker comes along," Matthaus wrote in his Sky Sport Deutschland column.

"Everyone is talking about Victor Osimhen for his sensational performance at Napoli. You never know if he can do that in Munich, but I think he would be a good fit.

"Randal Kolo Muani may need a little more room and space than a Bayern striker usually has, but he's also good in the box and could work in Munich.

"Harry Kane would be too old and too expensive for me.

"The price-performance ratio could speak for Niclas Fullkrug. He would probably be available for €20-25 million [£17.6m-£22m] and score 25 goals in Munich. He's already scored 20 times at Werder."

Kane has netted 25 goals in all competitions so far this season, which has seen him become Tottenham's all-time record goalscorer.

He currently has 206 Premier League goals and a move to Germany would scupper his bid to surpass the competition's record goalscorer Alan Shearer, who has 260.
