Grealish, who signed for Man City in 2021 for £100million, is believed to be a top target for Bayern’s incoming boss Vincent Kompany.
The Burnley gaffer looks set to swap the Championship for the Champions League after an approach from Bayern Munich.
And if he is able to get his way then we may be seeing the Belgian tactician setting up with a star-studded cast next term – including Jack Grealish.
Kane will almost certainly be the first name on the team sheet after he bagged an astonishing 44 goals and 12 assists in 45 appearances during his debut season.
While Grealish would be likely to line up on the left hand side, where he has excelled for City, Aston Villa and England.
But the 28-year-old coming into the side would likely force one of Serge Gnabry or Leroy Sane to drop to the bench.
In all likelihood it would be Sane that gets the nod in the starting XI over Gnabry.
The star has spent most of his time in Germany playing off the right side and managed 19 goal contributions in 27 Bundesliga appearances.

Perhaps more importantly, Sane is a familiar face to Kompany having played alongside him at Man City for three seasons.
Other changes to the potential line-up would be further back on the pitch.
What awaits Jack Grealish and Sasha Attwood in Munich?
JACK GREALISH and Sasha Attwood may just be ready for a new chapter in their lives in beautiful Bavaria.
The Man City ace, 28, is reportedly contemplating leaving the Premier League champions, with first team starts harder to come by at the Etihad.
SunSport has learned Bayern Munich are desperate to sign the Man City ace, 28, with first team starts harder to come by at the Etihad.
A move to the Bundesliga giants would present Jack and his stunning missus Sasha Attwood with the opportunity to go on a luxury adventure.
Before beginning house-hunting in Grünwald – known as ‘Bavaria’s Beverly Hills’ – he could stay at the same hotel Kane initially called home, the five-star Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski.
Sasha would be able to drop in to boutiques, including Dior and Louis Vuitton on the expensive Maximilian Strasse.
While Grealish, who likes a bevvie, will probably love to join in the festivities at Oktoberfest and sink a few steins.
Their life in Germany could include:
- Germany’s answer to Hollywood
- Designer shops aplenty
- Hotel stay
- Surrounded by pals & nightlife
- Tradition
Bayern have long been searching for a new defensive midfielder after multiple failed attempts to sign Fulham‘s Joao Palhinha.
And with reports of their interest in the Portugal international cooling, they seem to have identified a new target elsewhere.
Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, a target for Arsenal, could reportedly make the switch from Spain to Germany to sit alongside Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala in midfield.
Left-back is another area that is likely to see change for Bayern next season.
Canadian sensation Alphonso Davies had been long linked with an exit and appears to be edging closer to a move to Real Madrid.
And if the speedy full-back is to head to the Bernabeu then it looks like the Bavarians are prepared with a replacement.
German outlet BILD have reported that AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez is on the club’s shortlist for the summer.
Bayern have also been searching for a new central defender, proven by their left-field Eric Dier signing this season, and will continue their search for a long-term solution.
Barcelona star Ronal Araujo has been linked with a switch and would slot perfectly alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to make up the remainder of the back line.
Their potential line-up would be completed with the experienced head of Manuel Neuer in between the sticks.
