Update — August 4th, 6:50PM EDT: Deadline doubt?
Sky Sport journalist reported that there was no deadline or ultimatum given by Bayern Munich to Tottenham Hotspur on Harry Kane.
The proposal is in the hands of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, but he has balked at offering a response:
As expected from Bayern and reported: No answer from Tottenham yet to the new offer of more than €100m with add-ons included - revealed today ✔️

According to a report from The Telegraph, Bayern Munich has set a deadline with Tottenham Hotspur of midnight...TODAY to get a deal done.
That seems...unlikely, but let’s see what The Telegraph has to say:
Bayern Munich are understood to have set a deadline of midnight on Friday for Tottenham Hotspur to accept their latest offer for Harry Kane. All parties – including the player – want Kane’s future resolved as soon as possible and certainly before Spurs’ first Premier League game of the season next Sunday away to Brentford.
If a deal is not agreed to sell Kane to Bayern, the striker is expected to see out the final year of his contract at Spurs and leave for free next summer. If Bayern do not sign Kane this month it would be possible for them to agree a pre-contract with him in the January window ahead of a free transfer in the summer.
However, Kane may want to wait and evaluate his options if he becomes a free agent. It would, for a start, make it easier for him to stay in the Premier League. Manchester United, for example, are huge admirers of Kane but decided against bidding during this window as they did not receive encouragement that a deal could be agreed.
Given that this is the first report of a deadline, it is unlikely that the Bavarians have drawn a line in the sand. However, if Bayern Munich has really taken a hardline stance, there could be some contingency plans in the hopper that are ready to go.
