Tottenham have claimed they have no plans to sell Harry Kane this summer – despite reports that Manchester City have agreed a £ 160m transfer for the England captain.
There is no indication that Chairman Daniel Levy has invoked his position regarding the sale of Kane.
90min has learned that there is no agreement right now, although Kane and his people continue to push hard for a move away from north London. A transfer has been in Kane’s planning for a number of months, with Spurs unable to challenge for major trophies.
Doubts remain even as to whether Premier League champions City would break the UK transfer record by around £ 70m, and their own by £ 90m, as it contravenes their existing revenue policy. It is also while Kane and Aston Villa Jack Grealish are their main goals for the new season.
A report from the sun on Thursday night developed the saga. It stated that City had agreed a £ 160m deal with Spurs, with Kane earning £ 400,000 a week on a four- or five-year contract – although reports have surprised both clubs and Spurs deny an agreement has been reached. .
However, Kane made it clear to Spurs earlier this summer that he would like to join a rival Premier League club after spending his entire career in north London.
His preference has always been to stay in England, and he is believed to have a record for Premier League goals at all times, something currently held by Alan Shearer.
The strongest interest in Kane had come from City, Manchester United and Chelsea, although Levy has been reluctant to sell his best player to a domestic rival in recent months. However, the report stated that Levy had “granted himself” at Kane’s request.
Kane and his brother Charlie, who is also his agent, are said to have shared the news with other family members at Charlie’s wedding last Sunday – first, Levy’s alleged heart change learned from selling Kane in a phone call last Friday.
90min understands that this is still not the case, but there is a lot left in this story yet.
