Manchester City are still confident of signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur before the summer transfer window shuts, but the Daily Telegraph say they’re being met with a lot of resistance from Spurs’ chairman.
Daniel Levy is believed to have given Kane a verbal agreement in 2019/20 that he would be sold if Tottenham underachieved the next season, but he appears to have broken such a promise.
City have lodged a bid worth £125m which would break the British record they set when signing Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, but Levy is refusing to sell and has been ignoring calls about Kane for some time.
The relationship between player and chairman has broken down even more after Kane was signed off for an extra week of holiday but was criticised for not returning to training, so it’s hard to see him staying in North London for another season.
The 28-year-old has scored 221 goals in 336 games for Tottenham and boasts 38 goals in 61 games for the England national team, so it’s no surprise Levy doesn’t want to lose him. City have the resources to pay a British record fee for Kane, so they’ll be hard to ignore.
