Harry Kane to Man united Here we go,as player chooses Man UTD as His preferred destination, medical soon
Harry Kane has decided he wants to quit Tottenham for Man Utd this summer after reports that Spurs could now sell their star striker.
The England international has just a year remaining on his contract with Tottenham and he could leave on a free transfer next summer if a resolution cannot be found before the end of this transfer window.
Man Utd made him their priority ahead of the summer transfer window but quickly realised that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy had no desire to sell Kane to their Premier League rivals.
That is why Bayern Munich’s interest in Kane has been entertained to some extent with the Bavarians lodging two unsuccessful bids for the England skipper.
Tottenham are determined to keep hold of their striker this summer with a new contract offered to Kane, which is a significant increase on his current £200k-a-week terms.
However, there is now pressure from the top of the north London club to sell with reports last night insisting that Tottenham owner Joe Lewis is urging Levy to sell Kane if the striker won’t agree to a fresh deal.
And now Football Insider insist that Kane won’t be signing that new contract as he ‘wants to quit’ Tottenham this summer but that Bayern Munich is ‘not his first choice’.
Instead, they claim that he is hoping Man Utd now make a renewed effort to sign him with the Premier League side his ‘preferred destination this summer’.
Man Utd have been ‘given fresh hope’ by Tottenham’s willingness to ‘part with their talisman in the final weeks of the window if he doesn’t sign a new contract’.
It is understood that ‘the England captain is aware of the difficulty of striking a potential deal with negotiations between Tottenham and United expected to be fraught.
Football Insider adds:
‘The Bundesliga winners are in regular contact with Kane’s camp and believe they have a firm verbal agreement with the player.
‘However, it is believed he would prefer a move to Man United – where the London-born superstar would have the opportunity to break Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring record.’
Kane, who has 213 Premier League goals to his name, is currently 47 goals behind Shearer’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record of 260 and the 29-year-old could realistically beat that record in two more seasons.
Fabrizio Romano tweeted last night playing down Man Utd hopes of signing Kane with the Red Devils now fixated on getting a deal for Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund over the line.
