Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is the pivotal figure in Harry Kane’s probable transfer to Manchester United, with the striker needing to persuade Levy to let him leave the club this summer, according to the Mirror. Despite Kane’s willingness to leave, Levy is adamant about not selling the star player to a Premier League competitor.
Manchester United are eager to get Kane as their top priority for the striker position as they prepare to return to the Champions League next season. Kane has emerged as the club’s key focus, with manager Erik ten Hag looking for reinforcements up front and the likely departures of Antony Martial and Wout Weghorst.
Kane’s contract with Tottenham expires next year, giving this the last chance for the England captain to speak with other clubs. However, Levy’s refusal to sell Kane to a direct Premier League rival is a big impediment to any potential sale. Tottenham’s star player is worth £100 million.
According to the Evening Standard, Kane will only be sold if a sufficient offer comes in from a foreign club, since Levy will not allow him to join another Premier League team. Spurs’ attitude might cost them dearly, as they fear losing their top scorer and coveted asset on a free transfer next summer if he does not sign a new contract.
Kane has 213 Premier League goals in his career, just 47 shy of Alan Shearer’s all-time record of 260 goals, after an outstanding season in which he scored 30 goals. Kane may become the league’s all-time leading scorer within the next two seasons if he maintains at his present pace.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson described dealings with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy as “more painful than my hip replacement.” Levy underlines that the choice to sell a player is influenced by a number of factors, including the individual’s personality and the team’s overall cohesion.
The argument between Kane and Levy adds an intriguing wrinkle to the transfer story, casting doubt on Kane’s future as he seeks a move away from Tottenham this summer.
