Tolisso is believed to chasing a salary of around £100,000-a-week.
His time at Bayern has been blighted by injuries and managed 104 appearances for the Bavarian giants in total.
Just four of these came in the 2018-19 season, as he recovered from a ruptured cruciate ligament.
Tolisso has also suffered from calf problems this term.
His only Bundesliga start of the campaign came in last month's 5-2 trouncing of Union Berlin.
He did also start and score in the farcical 12-0 DFB Pokal victory over Bremer SV.
Spurs have been linked with a number of midfielders since Antonio Conte's arrival, including AC Milan star Franck Kessie, as well as Inter ace Marcelo Brozovic.
